Slow Down

Even a vow that breaks

Is a metaphor, Now that's for sure

Even a tooth that cracks can bite your back

Even a heart that's pure

Is an invitation right for breaking

Even the ones who know don't know for sure

But you better slow down

Can't you see your feet have left the ground?

And I'm the world below

You better slow down

Every time you speak, I hear the sound

But your lips are still

Even a bond that breaks

Is a telling tale the heart can grow stale

Even an atheist will swear to God

And all of this talk of love

You can say forever, like whatever

Even the ones you like don't have to love you back

But you better slow down

Can't you see your feet have left the ground?

I'm the world below

You better slow down

Every time you speak, I hear the sound

But your lips are still

Take all my hope for you

Set it off alone

Yeah, make it take the night bus home

Make it and share a seat

A seat alone

But the drunks in the bars

The old woman keeping score of the time she felt defeated

Will the crowd please remain seated?

I let you go

But you better slow down

Can't you see your feet have left the ground?

I'm the world below

You better slow down

Every time you speak, there is no sound

And it's deafening

But you better slow down

Can't you see your feet have left the ground

And there is a world below

You better slow down

Every time you speak, there is no sound

It's killing me

And it's killing me

'Cos it's deafening

There's a world below

And it's hard to breathe

And it's much too fa

And I hear you speak

Out of reach

It's deafening

And it's deafening
