--VERSE 1--

(Full Descent)

Little worrier

Lay your head to rest

And give yourself some peace

(Half Descent)

Lines get blurrier

When you make believe

(Quick Descent x 2)

Let the clock unwind

And let go your mind

This time

(Half Descent)

--VERSE 2--

(Full Descent)

Does it change a thing

Dwelling down each road of possibilities

(Half Descent)

When every moments sings

Of some disbelief

(Quick Descent x 2)

Don't let fallen

leaves

Speak of solemn trees tonight

(Half Descent)

--CHORUS--

(Half Descent)

Don't worry

Little worrier

(Half Descent)

Don't hurry the hurt

Let the moment burn

(Quick Descent x 3)

And just take your time

This is your life

Please don't let your tears run dry

(Half Descent)

--Verse 3--

(Full Descent)

Every second past

Is a heartbeat gone

And tucked behind the glass

(Half Descent)

You can't get it back

It will never last

--CHORUS--

(Half Descent)

Don't worry

Little worrier

(Half Descent)

Don't hurry the hurt

Let the moment burn

(Quick Descent x 3)

And just take your time

This is your life

Please don't let your tears run dry

(Full Descent)

--End--

Happy practicing, students!
