mike mains & the branches - slow down lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i hear you’re leaving town
’cause you’re tired of hanging around
the same city limit signs
you’ve been waiting around your whole life
just like a baby bird
nervous when it first learned
to spread its wings
and fly into the air

[pre-chorus]
now i’ve got to tell you something
these words might hurt
but please hold them long enough
to feel their weight as they plead

[chorus]
slow down, slow down
grab a coffee here with me
and take a second to breathe
slow down, slow down
let’s be quiet for a while
and i will try to make you smile
slow down

[verse 2]
you love it when it rains
’cause it always washes away
the dirt between the cracks
of everything that we think we see
now all your bags are packed
your father’s head tips back
into the chair that he sits
while he watches you slip away

[pre-chorus]
he cries, “will you please forgive me, darling
i can’t keep living brokenhearted
first it was your mother
now it’s bound to be you”

[chorus]
slow down, slow down
what about all our memories
when you would dance and sing for me
slow down, slow down
what happened to my baby girl
who used to sit on top the world
slow down

[verse 3]
you can travel the world
just as fast as your feet’ll go
graze the atlantic sh0r-lines
sleep in hotels of tokyo
lose everything in vegas
then go falling in love in spain
but like arizona’s canyons
a hole in you remains

[pre-chorus]
i just want you to believe
that the invisible frame’s what we see
and it’s as beautiful as a baby’s eyes
and as incredible as the first time they breathe

[chorus]
slow down, slow down
grab a coffee here with me
and take a second to breathe
slow down, slow down
let’s be quiet for a while
and i will try to make you smile
slow down
