Slow lyrics
by John Krause
[Verse 1]
There's light on the wall where the curtain is tearing
And I'm just staring at the coffee in my hand
A friend of a friend is getting married
The postcard's buried and I can't seem to send it back
Hope they don't ask me why
[Chorus]
I feel like I'm falling behind
And while I'm staying inside
You get ahead
I just want to live like I
I've still got plenty of time
Somebody say it's alright 'cause I don't know
Never learned to take it slow
[Verse 2]
My old roommate just turned thirty
He's been worried, spent the dеcade feeling late
Said, "Time don't wait for us"
[Chorus]
I feel likе I'm falling behind
And while I'm staying inside
You get ahead
I just want to live like I
I've still got plenty of time
Somebody say it's alright 'cause I don't know
Never learned to take it slow
[Bridge]
Don't say it's just a crack in the pavement
When all your neighbors are famous
But your name's still on your shirt
And don't say it's just a matter of waiting
Another low monthly payment
And I could stay here till the first
[Chorus]
But I feel like I'm falling behind
And while I'm staying inside
You get ahead
I just want to live like I
I've still got plenty of time
Somebody say it's alright 'cause I don't know
Never learned to take it slow
