I feel metallic, modern, and clean
But I wasn't made to be like Listerine
I want the warmth of the sun on my back
And no one but God telling me how to act
I just wanna slow down my heart
Walk at the pace of the breeze
I just wanna slow down my mind
To rest like a bird in the trees
Yeah, I wanna show people that they're accepted
While at the same time, I tell me I'm rejected (what?)
I want the cool of the day on my sleeve
And no one but God telling me when to leave
I just wanna slow down my heart (my heart)
Walk at the pace of the breeze (pace of the breeze)
I just wanna slow down my mind (my mind)
To rest like a bird in the trees
Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da, da, da
Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da, da, da
Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da, da, da
Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da, da, da
