Slow Down

I wake up

Start the coffee

Though you won't be up for hours

Fetch the morning paper

Lay them both out like they're hearts and flowers

And when you finish what I made you

Read the articles I saved you

I tell you that I couldn't 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 I've heard you

Then listen as ya brush your teeth

Wash your face turn on the TV

Till I think the moment's 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

It's 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

That's 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

Slow down

Slow
