Take Me Down

(альбом: At Least I Tried - 2018)

I got the sunshine in my eyes, I'm cheesing
I'm not in a hurry, no no
But I'm speeding
Can't nobody take me down
Can't nobody take me down
Let the troubles fly, fly away, they gone now
Just me driving to the great beyond, now
Can't nobody take me down
Can't nobody take me down

I don't have grudges, I don't want vengeance
I don't have secrets, so you don't have leverage
I don't need a big bank, just enough to get me by
Never will a dollar bill, make me feel dignified
I learned everybody's friendly 'till they taste blood
I learned love hurts much more than hate does
I learned every single high has a come down
But I know how to bounce back soon as I come down
It's hard to get hurt if there's nothing to protect
I would go to war for it but there's nothing left
Blessing in disguise, I severed all my ties
There's no reason to stay, I guess I'll take a ride

I got the sunshine in my eyes, I'm cheesing
I'm not in a hurry, no no
But I'm speeding
Can't nobody take me down
Can't nobody take me down
Let the troubles fly, fly away, they gone now
Just me driving to the great beyond, now
Can't nobody take me down
Can't nobody take me down

So many years I wasted
Wasn't perfect so I faked it
Looking back at these old photos
I see it in my faces
I could say you tried to change me
But I'm the one who listened
Woulda never saw it your way
If I had my own vision
I let you be my novacaine
Numb me 'till I blow my brains
Trying to be perfect for you
Figured out there's no such thing
Tighter than your choker chain
Living on the shortest leash
You don't ever listen
But, I'm the one ignoring me

I don't fear death, I don't feel pain
Used to have to fake a smile, now I got the real thing
Threw away the joys that were tied to my 'wares
Now, I'm flying down this road
But, I ain't in no hurry

I got the sunshine in my eyes, I'm cheesing
I'm not in a hurry, no no
But I'm speeding
Can't nobody take me down
Can't nobody take me down
Let the troubles fly, fly away, they gone now
Just me driving to the great beyond, now
Can't nobody take me down
Can't nobody take me down
