Slow Down

(álbum: The Proximity Effect - 1998)

You see yourself sitting on top so self assured, happy
But when your parents bail you out you somehow feel not free
You're bored to tears in school
It's not like what you thought at all
Trouble is not the answer
I know what you want to know

Slow down
Why you wanna move so fast?
Why you wanna walk so far?

I think I know what you want

Your father toys with you hoping his evil game will win
In order not to lose, the trick is not to play with him
Anything good you do is added to your past, your wealth
You'll need it all the day you finally choose to ask yourself

Slow down
Why you wanna move so fast?
Why you wanna walk so far?
Wait and find out who you are
And how you're gonna make it last

Something's gonna change, now re-spell your name
Tired of highs and lows, now derail your train

And if this letter finds you lost and out of touch.. lonely
I hope you know by now you mean so very much to me
