Slow Down

I really love you but I really need this chance
To make my own back from Brigadoon
And I really miss you but I miss myself too
And I miss the way it feels to lick right off the spoon
I’m gonna slow down, I’m gonna sip tea
I’m gonna put my feet up and ask time to marry me
Honey are you awake I
Thought I heard another earth-quaking
Guess it’s just the subway sorry
I forget I’m not in L.A. anymore
Maybe you don’t know this about me but I’m scared
Of almost everything that moves including you
When it’s windy or it’s just starting to rain
I’m gonna slow down, I’m gonna sip tea
I’m gonna put my feet up and ask time to marry me
I’m gonna slow down, I’m gonna drink up
I’m gonna put my feet up and have another cup
Around us everywhere
The signs of nakedness preparing
To put on too many clothes and
Hide the secret that never shows
I see through everything
But only when I’ve had my sleep and I’m so tired
From the wrong kind of rest and restlessness
