Standstill

Slow down now it’s not easy
The way you’re cryin’ all the time
You decided that you could not see
To find a safer place in line

Well maybe I’m just tryin’
to find the songs to sing
cause I’ve been standing still forever
still don’t stand for anything

One day you’ll cast no shadow
In a simple twist of fate
Would you close your eyes to tell me
It wasn’t worth the wait

Slow down

Slow down all these transmissions
The airwaves crowded as they are
You took it all into your vision
Then took apathy too far

Slow down–it still feels like it’s December
Slow down–and all I do is obey
Slow down, my love, they’re lookin’ for surrender
so they can take it all away

Chorus

Slow down my eyes are aching
My head explodes in a retail store
Born one piece now always breaking
It’s too bad you stop wanting more

Chorus
