Slow Down

(album: to whoever wants to hear - 2023)

It's 1999
I opened up my eyes
It'd be a minute 'til the first time that I felt alive
That was when I was six
That's when I got my fix
I learned to wheelie from watching some random YouTube vid

When I was fifteen
I lived behind a screen
I realized that life can be a little mean
I lay awake at night
Feeling like I'm behind
I'll blink a couple times, and I'll be twenty-five

Time keeps passing, don't let it pass you

Slow down
Leaves will hit the ground before you know how
Beautiful the winter season
Snow falls down
Watch it freeze the river while the schools close down
Or summer will spring up on you again
Again, again, again, again, again
Again, again, again, again, again, again, again

It's 2024, wait, are you sure?
I'm still the same scared kid from back when I was four
It's 2036, I'll probably have some kids
I'll tell them not to do the same stupid shit I did

In 2059, I hope that I'm alive
I hope they finally made those crazy cars that can fly
I lay awake at night feeling like I'm behind
I'll blink a couple times, and I'll be in the sky

Time keeps passing, don't let it pass you

Slow down
Leaves will hit the ground before you know how
Beautiful the winter season
Snow falls down
Watch it freeze the river while the schools close down
Or summer will spring up on you again
Again, again, again, again, again
Again, again, again, again, again, again
Again, again, again, again, again, again
Again, again

Time keeps passing, don't let it pass you
