Slow it Down Lyrics

Sometimes you need to slow things down

Remember where you came from

Who you are

Remember all roads lead to home again

When you're a superstar

Home is what you make of it

It's where you live

It's where you lie

It's where you lay your head each night

It's where you wake up

Where you cry

It's a start

It's a future

It's the present

It's the past

It's the days

It's the nights

It's the slow

It's the fast

The family

The friends

The neighbors

Naysayers

The lust

The love

The parties

The favors

Restarts

Reignites

Results

Reenlights

Where you find your love old and new each day and each night

You learn

You create

You yearn

For the light

Work and burn through each wick knowing that the smell of you is insight

Internal view and delight

Knowing only few have insight on the views that we see in the plans that we write

The grand view for our lives

Not our house

What we drive

It's where we live

Where we lie

Birds eye view

In our style

Parenting two separate smiles

Shepard's gaze

That's my guile

Staying fun with the Son of a Nun

The first trial

That's for all of you to compile the clues that I've piled

Stacked and skewed through the words that I've written into these files

The views of the truth that I can bring to the World if they'd just listen and smile

Keep that straw in their mouth and spitball for awhile

Pickup game through this dial

It in to spot a fly

If you stand in the corner and see three other sides

One Sweet World PNP segue into The Stone

That's my vibe

Tasting every lyric

Seeing the view that's inside

Made eye contact

Now I'm seeing the view from his eyes

How the ants move left and right

Instead of finding ways to decide

Ways they can choose to love and share through their smiles

Blowing air and get high

Look through the rearview to confide

When to go

How to drive

Who to love

Where to fly

Knowing with my P.I.C. by my side

Both of us

Both our lives

That we trust that the dust that builds up will always move by

You and I

Man and wife til the day I die

Which is why I try to show you love

To be great

To create worlds

Don't be shy

Open up

Let me up

Come into your mind

Unloading my thoughts

They're a different kind

Bud and beer up in space

Different galaxy signs

Not parking it here

Ain't paying them fines

Ain't staying in line

I'm declaring my time

Making it clear that I'm ready for the adventurist ride

I'm inexperienced

Blind from the mystery the money brings

Never played this game coming from behind amongst the kings

Being visionary doesn't mean you know everything

It means you dig, refine, create, build, remove risks from everything

Doesn't mean there's no risk

That's in everything

Even if there's no ball there's still a chain on every swing

I've been tossing seeds

More than anything

Looking for that wildflower

That's a petty thing

So let's rewind the story like Nas

Road Brick Yellow

Reveal the mirrors

In bed from that head injury knowing Home like place no there's

Red balloon in the air

Don't jump off that's a Toto despair

Pulling back the curtain

I'm the Dorothy in here

I'm the Lion, Tinman, I'm the Scarecrow doll

Back to Munchkninland

Pretty my you get I'll

If Glinda comes and slips or falls

Just call

Give you back the Ruby Red pill

Slippers and all

Toto jumps back into the basket

Bikes pedaling faster

To unwrap the pretzel Auntie Em's been after

Before the disaster

This is my Yellow Brick Road

Finding home's what I'm after

Whether through poem or my passion

It's the zone that I craft in

Whether in Rome or I'm home

Make you glow from compassion

I'll behold

I'll unfasten

I'll say no when we're crashing

Off the whip that I'm lashing

Choke up on the last swing

Loving what grew from this and comes from it

Whatever that brings

Knowing there's seasons where we shine and our plants spring

You and me

We'll be dancing

Caroling as the fam sings

Plotting the landscape of the rest of our life

That's how we plan things

So slow it down Angie come back to bed

I never, she never, we never looked back instead

We became stars

Lumineers

In our heads

Removing the blues

Our roses are all reds
