I'd close my eyes and I'd get some rest,
If I could be so sure that I'd wake again.
It's been too long and I'm too far gone.

I'm not waiting for anyone.
I don't want to know; I never have before.
I'm not waiting for when the time is right.
Why can't you slow down?
Why can't you slow down?
When everything's wrong and you move along
You want to get out.

All this time I've been sitting here
With this broken jaw and these sleeping pills,
I can't sleep, I can't speak tonight.
I'm not waiting for anyone.
I don't want to know; I never have before.
I'm not waiting for when the time is right.

I never wanted to have it all,
I just wanted what I never could have.

Why can't you slow down?
Why can't you slow down?
When everything's wrong and you move along
You want to get out.

I never wanted to have it all,
I just wanted what I never could have.
