I wake up
Start the coffee
Though you wont be up for hours
Fetch the morning paper
Lay them both out like theyre hearts and flowers
And when you finish what I made you
Read the articles I saved you
I tell you that I couldnt sleep
Wondering if you still love me
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
So we can speed up
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
On my tiptoes round the house
I tried my best to not disturb you
Quiet as a drunken mouse
Amuse myself until Ive heard you
Then listen as ya brush your teeth
Wash your face turn on the TV
Till I think the moments right
To try and talk about last night
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
So we can speed up
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
I just need my pics of you
It fills the holes inside of me
'cause whiskey, pot and pills dont make me
Feel so high, feel so free
Its what you do to me
Try to make it through the day
Chasin all the same old ghosts
Has my fear become a drag 'cause
Thats the thing I fear the most
You run your fingers
Through my hair
A thousand things that show you care
But sadness is my worst addiction
My head is filled with fact less fiction
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
So we can speed up
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
So we can speed up
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
