I want to crawl back inside my mother's womb
I want to shut out all the lights in this room
I want to start fresh, like a baby in a sink

So life moves slowly when you're waiting for it to boil
Feel like i watch from 6 feet under the soil
Still want to hold you and kiss behind your ears
But i re count the countless tears that i lost for you
PRE-CHORUS:
D A Bm G
But before you finally go *(before you go)*
D A G..... hold
There's one thing you should know: That I promise -
