[Verse 1]

Yeah nothing lasts forever I was told that

And good comes to those who wait

So I would hope that

Remains true, that's a contradiction

Man I went away for two years, came back

I'm still missing

I found myself but I didn't like what I found

Now I'm in circles on this merry-go-round

Trying to slow down, trying to ignore the signs

Let's see how that goes down

I matured a bit, you can hear in the flow now

So now I'm wiser and that's the scariest part

And I ain't talking Until Dawn or ghost in the dark

My heart glows in the dark

Two by two, that's Noah's ark

Since the start I've been true by you

No matter what I do, I lose it

It's confusing

Emotions seep in

My life is like a movie

But please don't roll out the red carpet

It's my story, it's what I started


[Chorus]

Slow down

'Cause you ain't gotta be nowhere but here right now

Slow down

Already got a crown on your head

This your life don't forget

Slow down

'Cause you ain't gotta be nowhere

Even here with me

Slow down for a second, just let yourself be free


[Verse 2]

I got

Motion sickness from standing up in the same place

I ain't spoke to God for years, I guess I save grace

Maybe that's why I'm still in the same place

No medal round my neck I'm still in the same race

I'm still at the same pace but I'm trying to bring the flames back

Red dot pointed at my heart, bring the aim back

If this a love letter then let me rearrange that

'Cause it ain't every day that I say that

Payback's a virtue, I'm talking 'bout revenge

No amount of money can replace the time we spend

And I ain't got much of that so let me wipe away the lens

But if I wipe away the lens does it wipe who I depend?

Does it wipe all my old lyrics written by the pen?

Does it wipe everything I've been through and again?

Does it wipe the slate clean?

I ain't felt like I feel right now since I was 18


[Chorus]

Slow down

'Cause you ain't gotta be nowhere but here right now

Slow down

Already got a crown on your head

This your life don't forget

Slow down

'Cause you ain't gotta be nowhere

Even here with me

Slow down for a second, just let yourself be free
