Walk Lyrics

Gotta slow up, gotta shake this high
Gotta take a minute just to ease my mind
'Cause if I don't walk then I get caught up
And I'll be falling all the way down

Hundred headlights making me blind
All of your pleasures catching my eye
If I jump once, then I never think twice,
But your temptations make me stay another night
And my senses only lie to me, lie to me
I don't know how I feel so wrapped in me, wrapped in me
I gotta check myself
Before I get what I want to, find out is not what I thought it was
And you know why I

Gotta slow up, gotta shake this high
Gotta take a minute just to ease my mind
Cause if I don't walk then I get caught up
And I'll be falling all the way down

Turning my head and shutting my eyes
Doesn't even matter if I'm wrong or right
'Cause if I don't walk, I can't even sit around
And I'll be falling all the way down

Tell myself "Leave" while I'm still strong
"Don't look back!" till I'm ten miles gone
And when the road stops, I'm gonna keep on
Until I end up in the place that I belong
But the pressure is pushing me back again
Telling me not to pretend
There isn't any use to even trying to get you out of my head
So, I lift my feet off the ground
And I'm gonna walk right up

Gotta slow up, gotta shake this high
Gotta take a minute just to ease my mind
'Cause if I don't walk then I get caught up
And I'll be falling all the way down

Turning my head and shutting my eyes
Doesn't even matter if I'm wrong or right
'Cause if I don't walk, I can't even sit around
And I'll be falling all the way down

Won't get caught in the old fly trap
Runaway, runaway, never come back
No way I'm going down like that,
No, no, runaway, runaway!

Won't get caught in the old fly trap
Runaway, runaway, never come back (I can't get caught up again!)
No way I'm going down like that (No way)
No, no, runaway, runaway! (No, no)

Gotta slow up, gotta shake this high
Gotta take a minute just to ease my mind
'Cause if I don't walk then I get caught up
And I'll be falling all the way down

Turning my head and shutting my eyes
Doesn't even matter if I'm wrong or right
'Cause if I don't walk, I can't even sit around
And I'll be falling all the way down yeah

I'm gonna walk now
I'm gonna walk now
Yeah, no, no, no
Gonna walk
Yeah yeah oh, no, no, no, no yeah oh
