Take It Slow

(album: Leave What's Lost Behind - 2020)

Shiver and put you hand in the river
Set the bottle afloat
Send the future a note
Tell yourself to be bold
Tell yourself to be bold
'Cause it's gonna get dark and you're gonna lose sight
But the future is bright for those who don't lose heart

So we might as well start 'cause we're falling apart
Yeah we're falling apart
I'm a rose in a jar
I'm a rose in a jar

I want to be alive while I am alive
While I am alive
Oh I want to feel the light color in my eyes
So I can see clearly that this is all really a fight
A fight for my life

River like a rippling mirror
Is the child inside or did he run for his life
Did he run for his life when times were tough when the light was lost?

These nights are long but I'm holding on
I want to be alive while I am alive
While I am alive
(I'm a rose in a jar, I'm a rose in a jar)
Oh I want to feel the light color in my eyes
So I can see clearly that this is all really a fight
A fight to survive
It's clearly a fight
A fight for my life

So fight for your life
Fight till the death
Fight to survive
Fight for the rest of the time you have left on this planet
No need to panic
Fight for the moment
Take it slow
