Lyrics
"Go Slow"
Verse I
The clock ticks the same every day
And sometimes we waste it away
We should all take some time
To let the present just float inside
Open up before it's gone
Rediscover all the good around
Pre-Chorus
Cause lifes to short, yeah lifes to short
Chorus
Tired of getting thru or just getting by
Tired of wishing that I could just rewind
Tired of dreaming of all I need to know
Going fast when I should just go slow-oh oh oh oh oh, go slow oh oh oh oh
Verse II
Moments take turns in on our minds
Filling the voids we try to hide
We should all ask ourselves
what we would do if we could never fail
We should all become aware
That colors brighten when we stop and stare
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Bridge
In this moment good is good enough
And time won't be wasted on the stupid stuff
I'll soak in what I can and count my blessings
one by one. one by one
Chorus
I should slow down, I should take my time,
Get a sense of direction, in my life
I should slow down, see that less is more
Do the things that I ought to, cause that's what life's for
