Slow Down Lyrics

The past few months have been a whirlwind just to get back to center

And I'd be lying if I told you that I honestly feel better

I'm happy to hear you're doing fine

Still trying to get you off my mind

I took your advice and I've been trying just to follow it to the letter

The past few months have been a whirlwind just to get back to center

And I'd be lying if I told you that I honestly feel better

You told me the world would try and do me in

I guess that this is how the story ends

Exhausted, sick, and hoping just for the better

And I've worn this heart into the ground

As these summer greens fade into brown

I know I'll see you soon somehow, up north

Lets slow down for just a weekend

We could take the time to pretend the world back home doesn't exist

Man I could get used to this

Lets slow down and we could stay

Forget about your day to day

In that town, in that place I call my own

The clock's been shattered, we grew up so fast

Remember these moments cause they're all you have

It's hard to see your kids and cousins, how they've grown

Gone out to make the world their own

Three hundred miles up the coast without me

And I can feel it subtly slipping away

And I'm clutching at what's left

There's only one more summer with the kids at home

And that's all we're gonna get

Yeah that's all I'm gonna get

Lets slow down for just a weekend

We could take the time to pretend the world back home doesn't exist

Man I could get used to this

Lets slow down and we could stay

Forget about your day to day

In that town, in that place I call my own

Elizabeth got married just yesterday

You should have seen her on her wedding day

You'd be so proud of all of us I hope

And as we all get older and all move away

I'd give anything for it to stay like this

And for this to be home

To stay like this

And for this to be home

Lets slow down for just a weekend

We could take the time to pretend the world back home doesn't exist

Man I could get used to this

Lets slow down and we could stay

Forget about your day to day

In that town, in that place I call my own

In that town, in that place I call my home
