TOBY - Slow It Down lyrics
rate me(hook) When they speed up, I slow down Turn the beat up, till the speakers get so loud let go, don't go too fast tonight before your life just passes by we've gotta gotta take the time to slow it down, slow it down (bridge) hey hey hey hey hey hey that's life no way to escape it alive we all in a hurry going nowhere gotta slow it down, down, down hey hey hey hey hey they that's life no way to escape it alive we all in a hurry going nowhere gotta slow it down, down, down switching gears, fix the mirror caught an image of the city that was crystal clear tried to paint the picture as it drifted near saw it flicker for an instant then it disappeared gotta slow down to listen, hear the sound my vision mixed up and interfered every street's got a secret hid for years till the wind lifts the whispers and it hits my ears and the sound of the broken city speaks riddles composed of both hope and envy the echoes bounce back and forth and then meet like minor symphonies of secret hearts that are all played a beat apart and they're picking up speed trying to lead the charge racing through the dark trying to conquer time like we're all shooting stars in a concrete sky (hook) When they speed up, I slow down Turn the beat up, till the speakers get so loud let go, don't go too fast tonight before your life just passes by we've gotta gotta take the time to slow it down, slow it down (bridge) hey hey hey hey hey hey that's life no way to escape it alive we all in a hurry going nowhere gotta slow it down, down, down hey hey hey hey hey they that's life no way to escape it alive we all in a hurry going nowhere gotta slow it down, down, down we walk by each other so close that we start mimicking motions and hearts without even noticing like the road is just ours and we're honing in on the moment alone like we're oceans apart islands of steel drifting in unison wishing for human contact but get so immune to it as soon as we miss it, we resist it cause the distance makes us different till we can't attune to it and the cars ride bumper to bumper kept apart by a margin of nothing at all so I dart eyes up at a dark sky because the stars shine upward a far cry from the hard times suffered by those who start line stuck them behind roll up the window as a I come to a light retreat to the comfort inside...and slow down (hook) When they speed up, I slow down Turn the beat up, till the speakers get so loud let go, don't go too fast tonight before your life just passes by we've gotta gotta take the time to slow it down, slow it down hey hey hey hey hey hey that's life
