Jumping At the Shadows

Patience; the timing's never right,
but something in this world could make it all alright.

Steady is the grind to grace the city lights.
Bring me to my feet again baby, make it alright.
But someone pays the fine for this crime.

I've been sippin' it too fast and I'm gettin' a
brain-freeze; been sippin' it too slow and it melts away.
I've been livin' in the past but I'm getting
to safety. loving loving, only gets in the way.

And when the fountain of youth runs dry,
will I grit my teeth and salvage my pride? Give up?
Or fall down? No, I'll never let me be the one pushin' me around.
And when I'm feelin' like I'm under the weather,
gotta remember how to pull myself together and
I'll never give up or fall down to the ground.
No I won't burn out.
I see the way they're lookin at me now.
I feel it in the air they wanna cut me down,
but refusing to fail means rising above some how.
And someone pays the fine for this crime. Yeah, the fine...

I've been sippin' it too fast and I'm gettin' a
brain-freeze, been sippin' it too slow and it melts away.
I've been livin' in the past but I'm getting
to safety. loving loving, only gets in the way.

Oooh you wanna give it away...
