Slow it down baby
Got to breathe while you can
You might hear it when I say it
But do you understand?
Can you take a moment
And just sit still
Hon you've gotta make the time
To lie back and chill
Feel it in the warmth of the tea in your hands
See it in the ripples of the waves in the sand
Hear it in the chirping of thee birds in the trees
Smell it like the cherry blossom scent on the breeze
Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down
When you go so fast then you break so hard
Every holiday just ends up marred
You've gotta rest your engine or you'll over heat
Sometimes you've just gotta get some sleep
Feel it in the warmth of the tea in your hands
See it in the ripples of the waves in the sand
Hear it in the chirping of thee birds in the trees
Smell it like the cherry blossom scent on the breeze
Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down
If you don't, you know you're gonna pay one day
You only get one life so don't throw it away
Listen to me please, you've gotta stop right now
You can change your life, I'm gonna show you how
Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down
