Slow Down

Somehow it got in our heads To go as far as we can as fast as we can But we still don't understand The reason why it just isn't working One day, we wake up to find We're stacked up on the starting line Racked up, all in a row On your mark, get set, gun shot, go At some point where we feel that we need To increase our velocity Quickly, we build up the speed And then never look back again We get going so fast and it seems Lose sight of the important things Happiness, whatever that may mean Friends and family, hopes and dreams Slow Down, there isn't any hurry now Sit back, take a look around Relax, ain't nothing to worry 'bout Everything will even out Once you go and slow it down People try to stay with the pace But the fact is that life is not a race One day it's all gonna end So smell those roses and pass by them Some folks well they tend to forget well Some guys just living it out yeah What you give is what you will get So people do the match now Slow Down, there isn't any hurry now Sit back, take a look around Relax, ain't nothing to worry 'bout Everything will even out Once you go and slow it down We get lost in a hussle and a bussle And we make a big fuss over nothing at all We get caught in a neverending struggle Never knowing where we're going Or why we're even going on Where do we think we are? Where do you think you are? Somehow it got in our heads To go as far as we can as fast as we can But we still don't understand The reasons why it just isn't working Time keeps ticking along Your heartbeat is beating strong But one day it will be gone So listen to the reef now Slow Down, there isn't any hurry now Sit back, take a look around Relax, ain't nothing to worry 'bout Everything will even out As long as you go and slow it down.
