So Tired
Slowdive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So tired
It's so hard to feel
But it's alright
'Cause I believe
And I guess I'll dream
I guess I'll take the time to dream
It's alright
I'm just sleeping

Slow down
It's just always on my
Slow down
It's just always on my

So tired
Suicide is gone yeah
But it's alright
'Cause I believe
And it's just a dream
It's always on your




It's just a dream
It's just always on your mind
