I went to a place
To repair and rest myself
But I never left
The loop of the waves
Crashing on my shore got stuck in my head
And never came out
Oh, it'd be better if the world would all slow down
It'd be better if I knew then what I know now
It'd be better if the world would all slow down
Ohoh, ohoh, ohoh
It'd be better if the world would all slow down
It'd be better if I was swimmin' in the shallows
'Cause then I wouldn't need to spend my whole life
Catching up to you
But I held a seashell
Close to my ear
I listened
To the sound of the deep
It made me swear
An oath of secrecy
I couldn't tell a soul what it told me
It'd be better if the world would all slow down
It'd be better if I knew then what I know now
It'd be better if the world would all slow down
It'd be better if I was swimmin' in the shallows
It'd be better if the world would all slow down
It'd be better if I was swimmin' in the shallows
It'd be better if I was swimmin' in the shallows
The shallows, the shallows
It made me swear
An oath of secrecy
I couldn't tell a soul what it told me, no
I can't tell you what it told me, no
I can't tell you what it told me, no
I can't tell you what it told me, no
I can't tell you what it told me, no
I can't tell you what it told me, no
I can't tell you what it told me
I can't tell you what it told me
I can't tell you what it told me
I can't tell you what it told me
I can't tell you what it told me, no
