Slow Down

We’re getting colder under the sun
Staying longer where we never should’ve gone
Charming and able because we’re young
Life’s a contest that you never knew you won
We’ll stay out until we’re swallowed by sun
Everyone
Slow down, my body’s aching
And I’m trying to shake this out
I know that we can flourish
In the currents of ourselves
I’ve grown beyond containing
And you’ve gotta break me out
But I can’t promise I won’t let you down
We’re getting older under the sun
Twenty-two years and we’ve only just begun
Live in this fiction surrounding us
New renditions that we’re learning how to trust
We’re staying out until we’re swallowed by sun
Everyone
Slow down, my body’s aching
And I’m trying to shake this out
I know that we can flourish
In the currents of ourselves
I’ve grown beyond containing
And you’ve gotta break me out
But I can’t promise I won’t let you down
