[Verse 1]
Who are you? I don't understand
I was seventeen with the world in my hands
God, I really hate this, and all you have to say
You think you know me, but I'm not the same
I don't have to fight it, not on every day
And win or lose to hopelessness, but in a different way
I don't mean to fail you, but I'd leave it all behind
The brass is loud and breaking, but I'll sing it one more time
[Chorus]
So let me down slowly

I don't wanna stay up, I'm a letdown
Screaming in the back seat, wishing I was home now

[Chorus]
So let me down slowly (Screaming in the back seat, wishing I was home now)
So let me down slowly (Screaming in the back seat, wishing I was home now)
So let me down slowly

[Outro]
It's like every other week
It's like every other week, what a long year
When I look around, it's like everything's my worst fear
It's like every other week, what a long year
When I look around, it's like everything's my worst fear
It's like every other week, what a long year
When I look around, it's like everything's my worst fear
Everything's my worst fear
