Gotta slow up, gotta shake this high Gotta take a minute just to ease my mind 'Cause if I don’t walk then I get caught up And I’ll be falling all the way down Hundred headlights making me blind All of your pleasures catching my eye If I jump once, then I never think twice, But your temptations make me stay another night And my senses only lie to me, lie to me I don’t know how I feel so wrapped in me, wrapped in me I gotta check myself Before I get what I want to, find out is not what I thought it was And you know why I Gotta slow up, gotta shake this high Gotta take a minute just to ease my mind Cause if I don’t walk then I get caught up And I’ll be falling all the way down Turning my head and shutting my eyes Doesn’t even matter if I’m wrong or right 'Cause if I don’t walk, I can’t even sit around And I’ll be falling all the way down Tell myself "Leave" while I’m still strong "Don’t look back!" till I’m ten miles gone And when the road stops, I’m gonna keep on Until I end up in the place that I belong But the pressure is pushing me back again Telling me not to pretend There isn’t any use to even trying to get you out of my head So, I lift my feet off the ground And I’m gonna walk right up Gotta slow up, gotta shake this high Gotta take a minute just to ease my mind 'Cause if I don’t walk then I get caught up And I’ll be falling all the way down Turning my head and shutting my eyes Doesn’t even matter if I’m wrong or right 'Cause if I don’t walk, I can’t even sit around And I’ll be falling all the way down Won’t get caught in the old fly trap Runaway, runaway, never come back No way I’m going down like that, No, no, runaway, runaway! Won’t get caught in the old fly trap Runaway, runaway, never come back (I can’t get caught up again!) No way I’m going down like that (No way) No, no, runaway, runaway! (No, no) Gotta slow up, gotta shake this high Gotta take a minute just to ease my mind 'Cause if I don’t walk then I get caught up And I’ll be falling all the way down Turning my head and shutting my eyes Doesn’t even matter if I’m wrong or right 'Cause if I don’t walk, I can’t even sit around And I’ll be falling all the way down yeah I’m gonna walk now I’m gonna walk now Yeah, no, no, no Gonna walk Yeah yeah oh, no, no, no, no yeah oh
