slow it down

from song a week by Erin Bower

/

lyrics

you can take a step, then wait
it's not a race, not a race
unless you're racing to your grave

you can let it down with me
it won't destroy the fantasy
of being brave, being brave

no, you're not the only one
terrified of what you can't see

slow it down
bring it back to the ground
when's the last time you breathed?
when's the last time you really looked at me?
don't lose it now, don't lose it oh darlin

you can take a step then wait
it's not a race, not a race
unless you're racing to your grave

you can say the wrong thing twice
and i'll sing my trite advice
let your thoughts out of the cave

no, you're not the only one
terrified of what you can't see

slow it down
bring it back to the ground
when's the last time you breathed?
when's the last time you really looked at me?
don't lose it now, don't lose it oh darlin

we're in the clear
bring it on over here
when's the last time we smiled?
when's the last time you looked me in the eyes?
don't lose it now, don't lose it oh darlin

no, you're not the only one
standing on the edge of what you can't see

slow it down
bring it back to the ground
when's the last time you breathed?
when's the last time you really looked at me?
don't lose it now, don't lose it oh darlin

we're in the clear
bring it on over here
when's the last time we smiled?
when's the last time you really looked me in the eyes?
don't lose it now, don't lose it oh darlin

you can take a step, then wait
it's not a race, it's not a race
unless you're racing to your grave
