6. Stitch it all together!
--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!
