Slow and Steady

Slow and steady always wins the race
(Let's fill this empty space)
Don't you want it?
Can't you get it?
There's a certain levity I need to keep with you
(But that's something I'm used to)
The transparency of my soul has gotten me into a lot of trouble
Don't you want it?
Can't you get it?

(Hello, nice to meet you)
(Welcome to Washington, where your friends change like the weather)

At every turn
I get overwhelmed at the sight of a promising future
Those life lessons in time you'll learn
But it hasn't caught up to me just yet
So do as you please
Because I feel at every moment like I'm wrong at every turn
Just to be not so lonely

The things you've said straight up to my face
You can't expect me to stay the same way
Why can't I get my life into shape?
Young thing, all this time you've been finning to escape

I can string along a couple words to make a sentence
But that won't make you happy, will it dear?
I'll keep playing with your expectations like limbo
But honestly, that I feel is my greatest fear
My greatest fear
