"Slow Medicine" lyrics

"Slow Medicine"

I've been on a mission now to fix me
Two years go by, oh my, how could that be
I've tried drinks and pills
Too much sleep and thrills
They don't heal me
You're the silver bullet after all my looking

Oh, silly little me
Thinking I could ever be without you
You said you'd never leave
Be the only living thing I'm bound to
And I know that I've been wasting my time
When what I wanted more than anything
Is that slow, slow, slow
Slow medicine

Take me back outside
I want the sunshine
That breeze that sighs
"Oh, hi friend, you're alright"
When I feel you close
It's easy letting go
Just like my mama told me so
'Cause you're the silver bullet after all my looking

Silly little me
Thinking I could ever be without you
You said you'd never leave
Be the only living thing I'm bound to
And I know that I've been wasting my time
When what I wanted more than anything
Is your slow, slow, slow
Slow medicine

I've been wasting my time
Wasting my time

Oh, silly little me
Thinking I could ever be without you
You said you'd never leave
Be the only living thing I'm bound to
And I know that I've been wasting my time
When what I wanted more than anything
Is your slow, slow, slow
Oh that slow, slow, slow, slow
Give me that slow, slow
Slow medicine
