"Slow This Down" lyrics

"Slow This Down"

Hold still, I want to get this right
Every detail
Every line

'Cause my memory leaks over time
I want to slow this down

A little patience
A little bit of compromise
All that chaos
All the highs
All the magic my words can't describe
I want to slow this down

Dreaming
I'm a sucker for the seasons
But change runs rivers on my mind

How do I slow this down?
Even for an hour
How do I slow this down?
How do I?
How do I?

Is it a treasure or
A simple part of life?
To be so lucky
To be the gold in another's eyes
Catch it in a bottle
Use it when the well runs dry

I go
Wishing on a rainbow
While you find a hill to tumble down
You'll grow
Quicker than my eyes know
Time has it's way of running out

How do I slow this down?
Even for an hour
How do I slow this down?
How do I?
How do I?

How do I slow this down?
Even for an hour
How do I slow this down?
How do I?
How do I?
