Song Lyrics: Slow Down

With scenes of my life running by too fast

And everything seeming not to last

Growing up here is such a sudden blast

I want it to slow down

Slow down, slow down,

I don’t ache to see tomorrow’s sun

I don’t want to be forgotten

I don’t think I’ll be the one

Who celebrates every birthday

Slow down, slow down

No early, mid or late for me thanks

I’ll just take it with unloving grace

Not disappear without a trace

Crush the candles beneath my feet

Hold on to youth with hands still as sweet

As the innocence of children’s belief

I want it to slow down

Slow down, slow down

I don’t ache to see tomorrow’s sun

I don’t want to be forgotten

I don’t think I’ll be the one

Who celebrates every birthday

Slow down, slow down

I don’t wanna be married yet

Children filling my life with debt

Eyes looking at me as though I’m dead

Slow down, slow down

Slow down, slow down

I don’t wanna be married yet

Children filling my life with debt

Eyes looking at me as though I’m dead

Slow down, slow down

Slow down, slow down
