50mph

(album: RAPHA - 2022)

I was driving down the highway
Letting cars pass by
Going 50 in a 60
Take the pedal off please
I need more time
I don't think I can keep driving
All night long
Watching dotted lines turn solid
When did life become just holding on

I want to say it but I don't know how
Don't wanna let you down
Does anybody in this town
Ever love themselves

I don't wanna be a star
I just wanna talk
I don't wanna run fast
I just wanna walk
I don't wanna be ego-boosted
Baddest on the block
I want you
To see me as enough

As enough
As enough
As enough

I was talking to the ghost of
Ages passed
Saying why don't you do better
Life's not about pleasure
But what you have
And that's when I stopped to decide
I don't care
If there's no love to fuel the fire
What's the point of acting like it's there

I wanna rest but I forgot how
My ego won't allow
But deep down my soul cries out
I need love right now

I don't wanna be a star
I just wanna talk
I don't wanna run fast
I just wanna walk
I don't wanna be ego-boosted
Baddest on the block
I want you
To see me as enough

Take your time

I'm right here
And I don't care
What you do
Just meet me here
Just meet with me
Let me love all you, oh

I just wanna talk
