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
