While We’re Down - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I've got a lot of open books I haven't read

But I'll get there

Well, I'm not starting them now

And I'm not half the man I thought I'd be by now

Are you waiting?

While I'm trying to figure me out?

Figure me out

I think that maybe we're a little too young

Giving love in half-hearted ways

I wouldn't love me while I'm changing

But you've already come my way

And it gets easier with time

But maybe that's a little too slow for me

Could you hold me while we're down?

We're just kids that know we're only hurt by stones

Are we learning?

I don't think we're coming around

And I'm not half the man I thought I'd be by now

Are you waiting?

Is it wasting you waiting around?

I think that maybe we're a little too young

Giving love in half-hearted ways

I wouldn't love me while I'm changing

But you've already come my way

And it gets easier with time

But maybe that's a little too slow for me

Could you hold me while we're down?

Could I give you peace of mind?

I don't think we're coming around to this

That's the thing with waiting

You can't bandage it; it just heals over time

I think that maybe we're a little too young

Giving love in half-hearted ways

I wouldn't love me while I'm changing

Well, I'll keep making that same mistake

And it gets easier with time

But maybe that's a little too slow for me

Could you hold me while we're down?
