I just wanna take things quickly
Set me free

I found you
You gave me everything
Set my pace to your heart
If I don’t make you my one
When you talk I can’t hear

Set me free
I just wanna take things quickly
I don’t got the time to move ahead without the heart
I know I could take you with me
But I gotta make room for you so I’ll tear the rest apart
Can’t afford to wrongfoot myself
And trip back into my head again
I just wanna take things quickly
And die into you
Set me free

Self sabotage
Ancient guilt
Beating under the floor
I’m not afraid to be great anymore

Set me free
I just wanna take things quickly
I don’t got the time to move ahead without the heart
I know I could take you with me
But I gotta make room for you so I’ll tear the rest apart
Can’t afford to wrongfoot myself
And trip back into my head again
I just wanna take things quickly
And die into you
Set me free

Luke Petruzzi - Quickly

Can't stand yourself
Always thinking about
Their faces
I know you are afraid
Afraid
So make them pay

All day Excel
Made you angry now
You'll show them
You're gonna make them pay
Make them pay

Nothing feels more lame
Your videos cause shame
You're better at this game

Believe your own hype
You are your kryptonite
Always trying to fight
But your points are so trite

Oh 
Don't you know
Nobody likes
Lukewarm Prosecco

Pain's got the reigns
It perpetuates
It stains
So you throw your own parade
Of hate
Don't let it fade

You've got your brand
Calculated
Always planned
But who will be your fan
Or friend
When you only pretend

Your photos look the same
Fake gold to proclaim
I'm better at this game

Believe your own hype
We know your kryptonite
Lonely out of sight
Constant living in fight or flight

Oh
Don't you know
Nobody likes
Lukewarm Prosecco

If only you took one look inside
And freed your mind
Stop the teething grind

Maybe you'd find the reason why
You're so unkind
Face the fears that make you
Feel behind

I'm sure that your words rather deny
My relief is so strong
Your hold on me is gone
Manipulation done

Oh
Don't you know
Nobody likes
Lukewarm Prosecco

Every day abuse your mind
You call it a virtue
Every day abuse your mind
To show them your value

Ahhooh oh
Ahhahoh oh
Ahhooh oh
Ahhahoh oh

Yeah
I like to think a little harder
Think a little wiser

Ahhooh oh
Ahhahoh oh
Ahhooh oh
Ahhahoh oh

I’m afraid that I’ve been
Wasting all my time
I could find a way out
Taking back what’s mine

Every day abuse your mind
You call it a virtue
Every day abuse your mind
To show them your value

Every day you fall in line 
Turn your love into a crime
Word it in a way that you can sign
Mmm

Ahhooh oh
Ahhahoh oh

I like to think a little harder
Think a little wiser

Ahhooh oh
Ahhahoh oh
Ahhooh oh
Ahhahoh oh

Every day abuse your mind
You call it a virtue
Every day abuse your mind
To show them your value

Snow on your nose
Iced path nothing flows
Found the place that youd thought you’d avoid

Nobody’s home
You followed the storm
Cared too much about the noise 

But soon you’ll realize
No one cares except you
Stop asking them for pride
No one cares except you
Hmm aa daa boo
Hmmm ba da ba da boo

East river exposed
Sun sets without clothes 
Beneath her your thoughts of them compost

Found your way home
Now stop being torn
Remove all the echoes of that storm 

And soon you’ll realize
No once cares except you
Stop asking them for pride
No one cares except you
Hmm aa daa boo
Hmmm ba da ba da boo

You’re whole life you’ve obeyed them
You’re whole life you’ve obeyed them
But no one cares except you
No one cares except you
So stop any clinging to
Start committing to 
Start beginning to

Your whole life
So stop any clinging to
Start committing to 
Start beginning to
Your whole life
No one cares except you

Hmm aa daa boo
Hmmm ba da ba da boom
