[Verse 1]
There's a lot of politics, a lot of cruel
There's always that elephant inside the room
There's a lot of talking and throwing looks
Not all our bruises are noticeable
There's always that happiness they wanna sell you
Look at how they made us look at ourselves
There are many quiet tears and flawless feeds, and
There's a lot of drink-it-away at the parties

[Chorus]
And I keep on waiting for time to slow down
And I keep on hoping for love to come around
And I don't know how to make sense of the things that I feel

[Verse 2]
Therе are many waiting rooms, lotta bad news
Barely awakе as too late comes too soon
When the ground beneath you is shifting where you stand, and
What you took for granted runs like sand out of your hands

[Chorus]
And all that we wish is for time to slow down
And all that we hope is that love will come around
And try to find ways to make sense of the things that we feel, ooh

[Verse 3]
There are many lonely nights, unrequited love
So many words that just wasn't enough
There are many walks home to an empty house
Waiting for somebody to chase the darkness out

[Chorus]
And I keep on waiting for time to slow down
And I keep on hoping for love to come around
And I don't know how to make sense of the things that I feel
