[00:00.000]they always told me that my mind’s empty inside
[00:03.786]that lightbulb above my head has never shined too bright
[00:07.233]but it’s not my fault
[00:09.094]there’s no way to hit pause
[00:11.084]this deep blue globe is spinning way too fast to hold all my thoughts
[00:14.954]i never was the type to get it right first try
[00:18.251]nor i an early bird, my longing keeps me up at night
[00:22.094]and so i’ll write
[00:23.508]my heart’s invite, sealed tight
[00:25.765]wait for the sunrise, maybe this time i can see new sights
[00:29.189]no, i won’t hide in my shell alone
[00:34.350]i’m already too far from home
[00:38.211]i’ll do my best to follow through
[00:41.757]so my love reaches you
[00:43.480]so run
[00:45.684]if slower is better than none
[00:49.267]i’ll be the one to dive and take the plunge
[00:53.048]a snail’s pace won’t win marathons
[00:56.629]gold medals pale compared against your love
[00:59.182]do you ever think about the way the sky is blue?
[01:02.497]or remember sharing those old shoes that only you outgrew?
[01:06.317]i just took too long
[01:08.029]your headstart was too strong
[01:10.027]i hope this letter finds you well before i drown in a pond
[01:13.615]no, i won’t hide in my shell alone
[01:18.769]this mollusk is too far from home
[01:22.326]i’ll do my best to follow through
[01:25.909]so please correspond soon!
[01:27.900]so run
[01:29.925]if slower is better than none
[01:33.504]i’ll be the one to dive and take the plunge
[01:37.373]a snail’s pace won’t win marathons
[01:40.933]gold medals pale compared against your love
[01:44.772]my heartbeat shipped straight to your door
[01:48.359]don’t watch the clock, no worth in keeping score
[01:52.212]dear sally sold her shells by the shore
[01:55.528]for whom she adored
[01:58.369]
[02:01.072]am i not enough?
[02:02.785]not immortal, nor a slug
[02:05.473]
[02:08.176]maybe it’s obvious?
[02:10.129]maybe i’m best escargot
[02:12.376]
[02:15.611][ ], i’ve had it rough
[02:17.596]but i can’t give up
[02:19.700]

[02:24.826]pick your feet up
[02:27.072]and run
[02:29.166]if slower is better than none
[02:32.703]i’ll jump the hurdles, go and take a lunge
[02:36.453]a snail’s pace won’t win marathons
[02:40.012]gold medals pale compared against your love
