Take It Slow Lyrics

There's a fire in your eyes, you're always on the go

The way you ride, you make it look like it's all we know

You've been doing this for years, I watch you chase the breeze

But every time you leave, I can't ignore the unease

You push yourself so far, you fight with all your might

But in the back of my mind, I'm scared you'll lose that fight

Every time you fall, it's like my heart drops too

I can't help but wonder what if it's the last time I see you

You're strong, you're tough, you've made it so far

But I can't help but worry when you ride that far

I love the way you ride, the way you shine

But every time you go, I fear you're crossing the line

You're everything I wanna be, but the cost is real

The risks you take, they hurt, they steal

I'm scared of the day you don't come back home, dad

Don't go too far, don't ride alone

I know you're strong, I know you've got control

But still I wish you'd take it slow

Remember when we used to race side by side

The wind in our faces, nothing could break our stride

But one fall, one hit, I felt my wall slip away

Thirty minutes gone, I didn't know if I'd see the day

You told me, son, wear your helmet, keep your head safe

But I still see that crash, the fear, the ache

Now I see you ride, pushing past the years

And I can't shake the thought that I'm drowning in these fears

You've strained your whole life, I know you're strong

But even the best can fall, even when they've done no wrong

I love the way you ride, the way you shine

But every time you go, I fear you're crossing the line

You're everything I wanna be, but the cost is real

The risks you take, they hurt, they steal

I'm scared of the day you don't come back home, dad

Don't go too far, don't ride alone

I know you're strong, I know you've got control

But still, I wish you'd take it slow

I wish you'd take it slow

I see you ride like you're born to fly

But what if one day, it's the last time you reach the sky

I can't stop thinking, can't let it go

I need you here with me, I need you to know

That I'm scared for you, I'm scared of the fall

But I'll keep hoping, I'll keep standing tall

I love the way you ride, the way you shine

But every time you go, I fear you're crossing the line

You're everything I wanna be, but the cost is real

The risks you take, they hurt, they steal

I'm scared of the day you don't come back home, dad

Don't go too far, don't ride alone

I know you're strong, I know you've got control

But still, I wish you'd take it slow

I see you ride like you're born to fly

But what if one day, it's the last time you reach the sky

I can't stop thinking, can't let it go

I need you here with me, I need you to know

That I'm scared for you, I'm scared of the fall

But I'll keep hoping, I'll keep standing tall
