[edit] Lyrics
I wake up, start the coffee Though you won’t be up for hours Fetch the morning paper Lay them both out like they’re hearts and flowers And when you’ve finished what I made you Read the articles I saved you I tell you that I couldn’t sleep Wondering if you still love me Slow down, slow down, slow down (So we can speed up) Slow down, slow down, slow down On my tiptoes ‘round the house I tried my best to not disturb you Quiet as a drunken mouse Amuse myself until I’ve heard you then Listen as you brush your teeth Wash your cafe, turn on the t.v. Until I think the moment’s right To try to talk about last night Slow down, slow down, slow down (So we can speed up) Slow down, slow down, slow down I just need my fix of you It fills the holes inside of me ‘Cause whiskey, pot and pills don’t make me Feel so high, feel so free That’s what you do to me Try to make it through the day Chasing all the same old ghosts Has my fear become a drag ‘Cause that’s the thing I fear the most You run your fingers through my hair A thousand things that show you care But sadness is my worst addiction My head is filled with factless fiction Slow down, slow down, slow down (So we can speed up) Slow down, slow down, slow down
