lyrics

hold tight, breathe easy
we're starving ourselves with anxiety

constantly we’re trying to run
let's slow down and try walking sometime
looking back at my change of direction
I now can say that I have learned that she's not important
and I was foolish to care so much

why do we try so hard
when satisfaction is so close

these days it's hard enough to please myself
you'll just have to wait in line
sit down and take a number
we're all looking for our answers
and I'm still learning how to breathe again
turn around, take two steps back
there must be bigger worries
life is full of questions
we can answer them if we take the time

sometimes things don't work out
sit back and try to believe
focus, don't procrastinate
don't sidetrack yourself like I did

so let me be your reminder
and let me make the mistake for you
and I've learned she wasn't worth it
and I've learned patience is a virtue
