I remember you asleep in your room on a makeshift bed   And your clothes were thrown   Across the floor   And hanging on the door was your favourite dress      And I tossed and I turned   and I get no rest   And I remember something I thought I forgot   Feeling withdrawn and a little bit lost    In the middle of the day when we woke up      We would sit and watch the weeds   Growing through the broken glass   While out on the street the cars go by so fast      It goes so slow   That nothing here can hold you down   Your surrounds just bring you down      My sense of touch   Words could never mean that much   My heart beats like a cheap watch      Running fast and running slow   Speeding through the dark   While out on the street the cars go by so fast      It goes so slow   That nothing here can hold you down   Your surrounds just bring you down      It goes so slow   That nothing here can hold you down   Nothing here can hold you down   Your surrounds just bring you down   It goes so slow   Just to bring you down   It goes so slow   Just to bring you down   It goes so slow   Just to bring you down
