The Slow Down

Sometimes the light

Is all we have

A little hope

To make this joke on us

Seem a little more good than bad

I see the lines of transit playing out

Etched deep into your hands

As I hold them

And we grow older

It's not easy

In the slow down

When seconds last for days

And there's nowhere left to go

Inside this fishbowl

We could both drown

But then the wave comes crashing

And just like that

Each breath I'm sipping in

You're saving me

Over and over again

Well I've got some fight

It never left you

But it's so rough to look all tough

When it's the shortest straw you drew

Sometimes there's not enough distance far enough

To get far enough away

But with you I'll hold on

For the long run

It's not easy

In the slow down

When seconds last for days

And there's nowhere left to go

Inside this fishbowl

We could both drown

But then the wave comes crashing

And just like that

Each breath I'm sipping in

You're saving me

Over and over again

Last night we met

We took our time

And every moment meant

A little more

'Cause we're not sure

Of how much time weget

Last night we met

We took our time

And every moment meant

A little more

'Cause we're not sure

Of how much time we get

It's not easy (Last night we met, we took our time)

In the slow down (And every moment meant)

When seconds last for days (A little more 'cause we're not sure)

And there's no where left to go (Of how much time we get)

Inside this fishbowl (Last night we met, we took our time)

We could both drown (And every moment meant)

And the wave comes crashing and just like that (A little more 'cause we're not sure)

You're saving me again (Of how much time we'll get)

Last night we met

We took our time

And every moment meant

A little more

'Cause we're not sure

Of how much time we get

Last night we met

We took our time

And every moment meant

A little more

'Cause we're not sure

Of how much time we get
