lyrics

Stop Me Now

The past few months mostly paying bills on time
I've been cooking more and more and eating better
Not sure about all the rest of my days
Worried they might be long gone and away
Miss my friends and my family, the way things used to be

Working at a middle way
Before my habits got in the way
What's gonna stop me now
What's gonna stop me now

Progress is too slow for those that want it most
Don't want to long for anything
Just move along with you by my side
And leave all the rest behind
Forgetting our past is not the way that it goes

Working at a middle way
Before my habits got in the way
What's gonna stop me now
What's gonna stop me now

Too introspective and alone in my thoughts
So here's a song about the gray inside of me
I remember your silly walk and your sweet laugh
Lying on our couch in our house
Dogs asleep everywhere and too much to drink

Late nights I hear the wind blow
Trees rustling down, shaking this house
Can't tell if I want to be lifted up or knocked down
Guess I'll close my eyes and dream of better days

Working at a middle way
Before my habits got in the way
What's gonna stop me now
What's gonna stop me now
What's gonna stop me now
What's gonna stop me now
