Newton’s First Law Lyrics by Maddie Lenhart
Everyone is saying that I need to slow down
And a familiar I’m-fine-lie just comes out
I keep my books full, say yes to everything
It keeps my mind off reality
Everyone is saying that I need to slow down
But I stay in motion
Keep it all going
And run till my lungs give out
Hopelessly focused
So I don’t have to notice
My world is crashing down
Don’t wanna live in this moment
So I just think about the next
If I stop now, I won’t get up again
With a heart this broken
The only way that I can cope is
To stay in motion
If I let myself feel, I’d feel myself break
If I let one tear fall, it would open the floodgates
Drive the train off the tracks, write the words off the page
I stay in motion
Keep it all going
And run till my lungs give out
Hopelessly focused
So I don’t have to notice
My world is crashing down
Don’t wanna live in this moment
So I just think about the next
If I stop now, I won’t get up again
With a heart this broken
The only way that I can cope is
To stay in motion
I’ll take it all on
And I won’t take it off
And it ain’t cause I’m strong
It’s cause I’m not
But I stay in motion
Keep it all going
And run till my lungs give out
Hopelessly focused
So I don’t have to notice
My world is crashing down
Don’t wanna live in this moment
So I just think about the next
If I stop now, I won’t get up again
With a heart this broken
The only way that I can cope is
To stay in motion
The only way that I can cope is
Woah-oh to stay in motion
To stay in motion
