As the words echo through the room
A silence follows filling up the empty space
Whatever happened to "keep it cool"?
For every sentence, there's a time and there's a place
But it's just human nature to trade your head space
For something someone said to make you doubt yourself
And I'm no stranger to the way you're feeling
'Cause I know all the words that you're thinking
You don't mean them for real
So, take a breath and ease up
Let it go
The air in the room is too dense
So, ease up
Going slow
Take your eyes off the back and just look ahead
Dial it back and just relax
There's no changing the past
It's just a part of the way things are
So, ease up
My heart races at a hundred miles an hour trying to find a way to say "I'm sorry"
Until my airways close, both of my lungs can hardly
Find enough air to breathe but what do you expect of me
Trying to hold up a conversation weighted by hyperventilation
But the truth is in life, there's no protagonist
No permanent villain to be mad with and throw hands with
'Cause it's just people making choices, good or bad decisions
Mix that with emotions and you could get blurry vision
So, we shouldn't need to hold it against them
'Cause if it were you, you'd thank them for a chance at redemption
And you know it's for the best to just put it all to rest
So, all you need to do is...
Take a breath and ease up
Let it go
The air in the room is too dense
So, ease up
Going slow
Take your eyes off the back and just look ahead
Dial it back and just relax
There's no changing the past
It's just a part of the way things are
So, ease up
So, take a breath and ease up
Let it go
The air in the room is too dense
So, ease up
Going slow
Take your eyes off the back and just look ahead
Dial it back and just relax
There's no changing the past
It's just a part of the way things are
Don't let the voices in our head control us
'Cause in the end, we're all just humans looking for a purpose
So, take a breath and ease up
