about

Mike Vivanco wrote this song after he felt like he wasn’t giving his dreams the priority they deserved. He felt as though he wasn’t picking up his guitar anymore like he used to. He wrote this song after a long day at work and began to write down what he felt. He felt as though he put his dreams on pause for an ordinary life.

lyrics

[Hook]
Lately this is overwhelming
Maybe you could slow down for me
I question you
Guarantee, your silence
Stress me love, stress me love

[Verse 1]
Take your time look at yourself (Look at yourself)
What feeds your wallet ain't the thing that feeds your soul (Feeds your soul)
And what feeds you knowledge will have you in control so take your time and love yourself (Yeah)
Trace the steps look for your shell (Look for your shell)
Stop letting go of what makes you yourself (What makes you yourself)
Love whatever, mind, heart and you’ll know
You are powerful

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you feel stationary?
Paused your dreams for the ordinary?
Did time go by while you fell back?
Contemplate
This is yours so prove yourself

[Hook]
Lately this is overwhelming
Maybe you could slow down for me (Ooh)
I question you (Ooh)
Guarantee, your silence (Ooh)
Stress me love, stress me love (Ooh)

Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da
Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da
Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da
Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da

[Verse 2]
Can you feel the ambience? (Can you feel the)
Don’t tamper with evidence (Tamper with evidence)
Can’t you see even with different time zones (Different time zones)
You and me never feel alone

[Hook]
Lately this is overwhelming (Overwhelming)
Maybe you could slow down for me (Ooh)
I question you (Ooh)
Guarantee, your silence (Ooh)
Stress me love, stress me love (Ooh)

[Bridge]
Vandalize our love
With your precious little world
I can’t take this anymore
I can’t
Let me navigate your skin
Yeah you get under my skin
Can we practice what we preach under the sheets?

[Outro]
Lately this is overwhelming
Maybe you could slow down for me
I question you
Guarantee, your silence
Stress me love, stress me love
