lyrics

when I was 9, I busted out of class
singing songs for all the kids in the hall
and I could around the bases faster than anyone
but couldn’t keep my eye on the ball

eventually, I went to see the doctor
and she asked me what I thought was wrong
but, I didn’t have an answer ‘cause
I’ve felt this way all along

I said I don’t know what I’m doing
and I probably never will
because I can never seem to get moving
and I can’t sit still
and it feels I’m always losing
chasing what I’ll never fill
because I can never seem to get moving
and I can’t sit still

when I was 19, I busted out of town
never knowing what I’m running towards
singing my songs to anyone who’d listen
but always forgetting the words

eventually, I learned to find a bottle
when I felt sad or incomplete
but it never helped me feel any better
it only helped me sleep

because I don’t know what I’m doing
and I probably never will
because I can never seem to get moving
and I can’t sit still
and it feels I’m always losing
chasing what I’ll never fill
because I can never seem to get moving
and I can’t sit still

now I’ve got a couple little ones of my own
trying to teach em right from wrong
and how to be calm and how to be kind
but they don’t always follow along

eventually I went and asked my father
why it never goes according to plan
he said I should know just as much as anyone
we’re doing the best we can

because we don’t know what we're doing
and we probably never will
because I can never seem to get moving
and I can’t sit still
and it feels we're always losing
chasing what we'll never fill
because we can never seem to get moving
and we can’t sit still

we can't sit still

Summer, Slowly
by Benchmarks

supported by 6 fans who also own “Can't Sit Still”

THIS is the Nashville sound that the world needs to hear. Meeting Todd and discovering his talented band is one the highest highlights of this life stop for me. Each Benchmarks record is a delicious journey on its own, and Summer, Slowly continues that tradition. Everytime I spin it I have to replay 4-5 times before moving on. For me that's a significant benchmark (pun absolutely intended) for greatness in a world that truly needs inspiration these days! Keep up the great work! Joe Totaro
