Jake Albi - Five Seconds Lyrics

The old apartment window
I'm staring down below
The patrons seem so angry
At everything they know
And no one seems to notice that they're caught up in the flow
But if they took a moment, they will realize they're alone and so they don't
I smell the wheels start to burn again
And several months just melt away
And when I finally get five seconds to myself
That's when the tears start coming out
I'll start submitting to the doubt
I make everyday feel like a fight
Now I'm convinced the inner voice is right
I wonder when I started
Feeling extra numb
I'll rely on conversation
I'm as smart as I am dumb
But maybe I'm projecting as I'm sitting here at home
The feeling I'm protecting is the one I cannot own and so I don't
I smell the wheels start to burn again
And every month just melts away
And when I finally get five seconds to myself
Well that's when the tears start coming out
I start submitting to my doubt
I make everyday feel like a fight
Now I'm convinced the inner voice is right
I didn't seem to notice that I'm caught up in the flow
And if I took a moment, I would realize I'm alone and so I don't
I smell the wheels start to burn again
And many months just melt away
And when I finally get five seconds to myself
That's when the tears come pouring out
I'll start submitting to my doubt
I make everyday feel like a fight
And it turns out the inner voice is right
