Lyrics to Slow Down

Somehow it got in our heads

To go as far as we can as fast as we can

But we still don't understand

The reason why it just isn't working

One day, we wake up to find

We're stacked up on the starting line

Racked up, all in a row

On your mark, get set, gun shot, go

At some point where we feel that we need

To increase our velocity

Quickly, we build up the speed

And then never look back again

We get going so fast and it seems

Lose sight of the important things

Happiness, whatever that may mean

Friends and family, hopes and dreams

Slow Down, there isn't any hurry now

Sit back, take a look around

Relax, ain't nothing to worry 'bout

Everything will even out

Once you go and slow it down

People try to stay with the pace

But the fact is that life is not a race

One day it's all gonna end

So smell those roses and pass by them

Some folks well they tend to forget well

Some guys just living it out yeah

What you give is what you will get

So people do the match now

Slow Down, there isn't any hurry now

Sit back, take a look around

Relax, ain't nothing to worry 'bout

Everything will even out

Once you go and slow it down

We get lost in a hussle and a bussle

And we make a big fuss over nothing at all

We get caught in a neverending struggle

Never knowing where we're going

Or why we're even going on

Where do we think we are ?

Where do you think you are ?

Somehow it got in our heads

To go as far as we can as fast as we can

But we still don't understand

The reasons why it just isn't working

Time keeps ticking along

Your heartbeat is beating strong

But one day it will be gone

So listen to the reef now

Slow Down, there isn't any hurry now

Sit back, take a look around

Relax, ain't nothing to worry 'bout

Everything will even out

As long as you go and slow it down
