Take It Easy - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Waking from a dream

Running from a scene

Try to steal a brand new identity

But all these people recognize me

When did I choose this name?

Is it too late to change?

If my character breaks

Would you take me home?

[Verse 2]

No one ever wins, but we play pretend

Walking 'cross the tightrope, thin confidence

Living on the next compliment

So I drown in self doubt

Was I laughing too loud?

Guess it's how life goes now

That's how it's been since I

[Pre Chorus]

Left to live inside my head

To overthink my every step

The years have changed what I collect

From baseball cards to scars and regrets

I don't know where to call my own

The place I live, where I was grown

When I see family, we call it visiting

And my own personality

Was lost in my anxiety

My mind's been suffocating me

Drowning out the boy who's crying

[Chorus]

Please take it easy

I can't keep up this speed

I can't help but feeling

The best years of our lives are gone

I'm giving up on tomorrow

Does it have to be this bleak?

Tell me

[Verse 3]

Taken by surprise

Running out of time

Old enough to see what's beyond the line

But I don't want to know what I'll find

Now our parents have lost

All their grown up sorrow

They don't know what's going on

And no one knows what's going on

[Bridge]

But I don't think I'm ready yet

But all my friends already left

We stay inside, now that we're grown

'Cause we're too cold to play in snow

And maybe one day I'll move on

From these two shows and these ten songs

But now they're on repeat

'Cause they're still the best to me

And my old personality

Was lost to false maturity

I hate the man replacing me

Drowning out the boy who's crying

[Chorus]

Please take it easy

I can't keep up this speed I can't help but feeling

The best years of our lives are gone

I'm giving up on tomorrow

Does it have to be this bleak?

Tell me

Are you still dreaming?

I can't count all the things that we stopped believing

My memories are turning cold

I'm giving up on tomorrow

I don't wanna feel this weak

Help me

[Refrain]

When I was afraid I hid undercover

Safe and sound with the love of a mother

Just leave me

I used to dream of the close side of heaven

I wanna sleep like regret never set in

Just leave me

I don't wanna fight with love from another

I wanna love like a child never wonders why

Just leave me here

Just leave me

I miss the song of a laugh still hoping

I miss the rhythm of a gold, unbroken heart

Just leave me

Sweet simplicity

Don't you wake me up

Just leave me

I won't go that way

Just leave me here

Just leave me

Don't you wake me up

Just leave me here

Just leave me

I won't go that way

Slow down I can't keep up the tempo

[Outro]

Please take it easy

I can't keep up this speed

I can't help but feeling

The best years of our lives are gone

I'm giving up on tomorrow

I don't wanna feel this weak

Tell me

Are you still dreaming?

I can't count all the things that we've stopped believing My memories are turning cold

I'm giving up on tomorrow

I don't wanna feel this weak

Help Me
