all at once

some of us will live our lives

like we are just living life on the run

some of us will die in our old age

others of us will die young

but sometimes it feels like i am just

getting so many things wrong

it feels like i'm walking down my last mile

and my god

it just feels so long

please just slow it down

i'm walking off these years

please just slow it down

'cause i can't stand the tears

but i would not expect you to understand it

'cause things never turned out the way we planned it

i just hoped that i would know you

and i never have to walk this world alone

i would not expect you to ever notice

you never had the time to be overjoyed with me

if you could hear me now

yeah

then i wouldn't want to lose it all at once

some of us will live our lives

like we are just dragging our heels through the night

some of us will stay in the darkest holes

and some of us will find the light

and sometimes it feels like i am just

getting so many things wrong

it feels like i'm walking down my last mile

and my god

it just feels so long

please just slow it down

i'm walking off these years

please just slow it down

'cause i can't stand the tears

but i would not expect you to understand it

'cause things never turned out the way we planned it

i just hoped that i would know you

and i never have to walk this world alone

i would not expect you to ever notice

you never had the time to be overjoyed with me

if you could hear me now

yeah

then i wouldn't want to lose it all at once
