Lyrics

Well I don't mind the slowdown anymore

I don't mind the sound of my shoes on your floor

I don't mind selling out or playing cover songs

Just as long as friends and family sing along

And I don't need more money or a faster car, now

Don't need a magazine to call me a superstar, no

I'm gonna take this little house and make a home

And then I'll never have to face my nights alone

Cause in my heart I hear you speak

And on my face I feel you breathin' next to me

Two by land, by air, by sea

And that is how it's supposed to be, now

And that much I can see, now

I'm pulling loaves of bread down from the shelf

And how rare it is that I stay up past twelve

In the backyard we are going to start a garden

If that don't sound mighty good I beg your pardon

'Cause in my heart I hear you speak

And on my face I feel you breathin' next to me

Two by land, by air, by sea

And that is how it's supposed to be now

And that much I can see now

If they don't love us we don't need 'em

Let's find our own brand of freedom

If they don't love us, we don't need 'em

Well let's find our own brand of freedom

Well I don't mind the slowdown anymore

I don't mind the sound of my shoes on your floor

Anymore, anymore
