Slow Down Lyrics by Nada Surf

Slow Down Lyrics

    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 loose,
    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.
