Slowdown

Things are great, they're doing OK
Feeling right, this is gonna be my day
Shattered my laptop display
Broke my foot off the banister in anger
Sometimes I just know I gotta slow down
Collapsed on the wooden floor
I'd be lost in this moment, but you can assure me
That everything will be back to normal

For that long ride
I just gotta slow it down
With you by my side
I just gotta slow it down

Back on my feet, but not how it used to be
I hobble around with more time to see
And listen to my surroundings
Somehow I feel unbounded
Then two of us hitched a ride goin' East
By a lady who stopped off to help roll out the leaves
And though we'll get lost along the way
I'm hoping that you'll change your mind and stay
I hear these boys put on one hell of a show
Look outside, I see that it is starting to snow
Now we're westbound heading for that bumpy night
I see the streetlights streakin' past the corner of my eye
As I slow my breath, I hold in the time until she leaves
Dropped off at the curb and lookin' out for the third
The pappa's poppin' off pictures as he shepherds the herd
Once in a while, I feel like life surrounds me
We walk further north until we get to the spot
I feel my chill starts to fade as we order a shot
This winter's got me cold, but at least I've got my family
At least I've got my family

Now the three of us see what wise men can achieve
I know it sounds real, but this is make-believe
It's wyrd to watch them sinking while the world they weave Grows deep... Ly
