slow motion panic
it’s a subtle sort of freak out
no one knows how it’s gonna shake out
measuring privilege
gotta make it a reminder
kinder to myself in all my worry
slow motion panic
I just want to find a way out
I can't swim but there's water rushing into my house
nowhere to go to
oh there's no escaping
I'd be faking if I said I'm doing fine
nothing but time in the world
but there’s no more time in the world
there's no more time in the world
time in the world
i need more time, i’m
slow motion panicking
been living on a prospect
object comfort
hasn’t called my number yet
i heard the siren
but did i really listen?
Missing out as i shelter myself from the storm
with nothing but time in the world
but there’s no more time in the world
nothing but time in the world
time in the world
i need more time
cause i know you
i know you feel it too
it’s not right
don’t you see?
it’s too tight
to breathe easy like we used to
before this slow motion panic
slow motion panic
it's a subtle sort of freakout
no one knows exactly how it's gonna shake out

What a great treat! Brings me back to 1998, a much simpler time. My girlfriend (now wife) and I saw you at McCarter Theater back then and we still remember it fondly. Thanks so much for sharing this concert! egordon99
