Staying Down Low

(album: Light, Dark, Light Again - 2023)

The house is quiet
Not sure if you're in your room
Sometimes you're inside there
To see five whole days through

And then I don't always feel
Like talking to you, but I wanna help you get moving
'Cause I'm just like you, I'm pretty scared of cutting loose
But if I can do it then you can

Calm down your shoes are out here
In the hallway where we left them
And this is no big deal
But recently I stopped watching television

It was gonna make me sad
To see so many episodes of The Walking Dead
But the fictional apocalypse always at the forefront of my head

Well this staying down low is
Is no longer fitting you
This staying down low is
Is no longer fitting you, no

I could take up running
Or something, to break you out of your sweat
I could keep you company
And stop choking on the things I haven't done yet

Or we curtail our standards
Hey I'm taking my time I'm probably gonna be late
And we've both been crying I'm just trying to resuscitate

I could see it on your face
That this staying down low is
Is no longer fitting you
Oh this staying down low is
Is no longer fitting you
Oh this staying down low is
Is no longer fitting you
Oh this staying down low is
Is no longer fitting you

I know that you're tired, but its no longer fitting you
No I know that you're tired, but it's no longer fitting you
This staying down low
This staying down low
This staying down low
This staying down low

I know that you're tired, but its no longer fitting you
No I know that you're tired
This staying down low
Staying down low
Staying down low
Staying down low
Staying down low
Staying down low
Staying down low

You can get back up again
Staying down low
I know that you're tired
You can get back up again
I know that you're tired of staying down low
Staying down low
Staying down low
Staying down low
Staying down low
I know that you're tired
