Slowly

Truth be told, I’m bored these days

No, I won’t - I won’t work today

The thought alone is killing me right now

I won’t, I won’t work

Let me lie in bed all day

I’ll get up eventually

And if you want to call today

Don’t be mad, I won’t answer

I’m better off by myself

Cause I want to sort through the storms

That are raging in my head

In my head, in my bed

I’ll get back to you in time

But for now I’m living slowly

Watering my plants

I’m being selfish, I can’t help it

I’m living slowly

Watching how my plants are growing just like me

I’m living slowly

Slowing down the pace, keep up

Mama called and she’s alright

Which is good

I’m cooking up new recipes

I’ll make you dinner next week

But tonight: dinner for one

Meanwhile you are busy working out

Or reading up on business stuff

Honey, I know that you’re trying to improve

But darling, nobody’s watching except you

You could sort through the storms

That are raging in your head

I’m in my head in my bed

I’ll get back to you in time

But for now I’m living slowly

Watering my plants

I’m being selfish, I can’t help it

I’m living slowly

Watching how my plants are growing just like me

I’m living slowly

Getting tired of trying to ride the fast lane constantly

When good things take their time apparently

That’s what grandma used to say

Painting words into my memory just like fingers forming clay

Her pictures beautiful - somewhat dusty

Cause she was old you know

But shining anyways

I wish I’d known her better

I wish I’d known better

I wish I’d known

Slow down, slow down, slow down

Watering my plants

I’m being selfish, I can’t help it

I’m living slowly

Watching how my plants are growing just like me

I’m living slowly

I’m living slowly
