I think it's about a girl who grew up and spent her childhood with a guy. Eventually they got together and things were going great until he moved away (from the sound of it, he's one of those guys that needs to move to new places to 'discover himself'). The song picks up after he's left home and come back a few times. The narrator mentions how uneventful("I'll tell you first, it was way too quiet") and depressing ("It rained a hundred nineteen days of the year") her life becomes when he's gone and how she wishes she could make him stay permanently. However, she acknowledges that he will eventually travel to different parts of the world and knows she can't do anything about it. All she knows is that whenever he's around they have an amazing time together and have all sorts of mischievous fun ("A couple of bars where we're not allowed"). It's so amazing that she wishes she could slow down time just to be together for longer. However, she has reached the point in her life where she begins to wonder why she wants to stop time because she knows that he will inevitably leave again. But despite this fact, she is still committed to stop things from changing even though she acknowledges that while certain things seem stuck in time (trees) the fact is that time flows past us ("you can see it when you drive"). |

stick around Greenly(?) now that she's gone take my time when I go to bed and I sleep long I'm getting over mullin' over I said could you just wait to tell me in the morning? slow it down slow it down and lay it low save it for the morning I know that you would like like to change me make me softer to your voice like a baby I'm using caution but you want it I wish you could wait to tell me in the morning slow it down slow it down and lay it low save it for the morning I shouted questions like a fist fight you tried to take me by the arms lead me to the light I'm almost over worrying over I wish that you could wait to tell me in the morning slow it down slow it down lay it low save it for the morning and I'll tell you one more thing I confess to self deception and ill pull the lock and pry I'll it open(?) they're pretending to be stolen I am my own thief in the night struggled for many years just to get here to learn humility and be my own teacher i guess it backfired cause my motive was just to take and never care 'bout what i give slow it down slow it down lay it low save it for the morning I shouted questions like a fist fight you tried to take me by the arms lead me to the light I'm almost over worrying over I wish that you could wait to tell me in the morning slow it down slow it down and lay it low save it for the morning and I'll tell you one more thing I confess to self deception and i broke the lock and i pried it open they're pretending to be stolen and I am my own thief in the night |
