Slow show lyrics

Standing at the punch table swallowing punch

Can’t pay attention to the sound of anyone

A little more stupid, a little more scared

Every minute more unprepared

I made a mistake in my life today

Everything I love gets lost in drawers

I want to start over, I want to be winning

Way out of sync from the beginning

(Chorus)

I wanna hurry home to you

Put on a slow dumb show for you

And crack you up

So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain

God I’m very, very frightened

I’ll overdo it

Looking for somewhere to stand and stay

I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away

Can I get a minute of not being nervous

And not thinking of my dick?

My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins

I better get my shit together

Better gather my shit in

You could drive a car

Through my head in five minutes

From one side of it to the other

(Chorus)

You know I dreamed about you

For twenty-nine years before I saw you

You know I dreamed about you

I missed you for...

For twenty-nine years

You know I dreamed about you

For twenty-nine years before I saw you

You know I dreamed about you

I missed you for...

For twenty-nine years
