Slowing Down (Long Time Coming) Lyrics
Things start slowing down for you and I.
It's been a long time coming.
If you keep holding onto what we've lost.
You're gonna drag down the road behind us.
I never wanted it to feel like this, to be this way.
I'm just afraid that if you stay we'll never change.
Well I never wanted it to feel like this, to feel this way.
I'm just afraid that if you stay...
Things start slowing down for you and I.
It's been a long, long, long, long time...
If you keep holding onto what we've lost.
You're gonna drag down the road behind us.
I never wanted it to feel like this, to be this way.
I'm just afraid that if you stay we'll never ever change.
Well I never wanted it to be like this, to feel this way.
I'm just afraid that if you stay, you'll hate me.
It's been a long time coming.
If you keep holding onto what we've lost.
You're gonna drag down the road behind us.
I'm just afraid that if you stay we'll never change.
Well I never wanted it to feel like this, to feel this way.
It's been a long, long, long, long time...
If you keep holding onto what we've lost.
You're gonna drag down the road behind us.
I'm just afraid that if you stay we'll never ever change.
Well I never wanted it to be like this, to feel this way.
I'm just afraid that if you stay, you'll hate me.

yes! FIRST COMMENT! How is it that no ones commented on this song? These lyrics are so heartbreaking. Anthony Green is amazing at what he does.
are you fucking serious?! NO COMMENTS? Best song, it's about a relationship that's slowly falling apart. He's already realized it and he's accepted what's happening, she's still holding on, she doesn't want to let go.
Fist off this song is absolutly amazing. I believe its pretty much self explanatory. My take is that I believe its a relationship that has been deteriorating for a long time and either the boy or the girl believes that its time to step away from eachother and end it. One of them is obviosuly still in love with the other and is constantly reminding the other of the time they had and keeps trying to get back with them. which makes it even harder for them to ever remain friends because one of them wants to go back to the way things used to be and the other cannot allow themselves. I duno I could be completly wrong but that's my take on it.
Describes the situaion I was in completely.

beeeeen there. such a pretty song.
I love this song. I've been in this situation before. It sucks, and it's sad to end it. But... "I never wanted it to feel like this, to be this way. I'm just afraid that if you stay we'll never change."
This song actually helped me realize a lot..
definitely one of my favorites... it's so universal... relationships, addictions... it's all the same... it's dependence... it's love... it's something that makes you feel something more... or something less... and we all thrive on more and then it's gone... then we want less and less of life... then once we're so close to dead... most of the time... we realize we want more and more of life... so we slow down the process of leaving and remember how it feels to live... just an opinion but either way... song kicks much ass
This is one of my favourites and it's so true too. I personally know how this feels. I was just in a 2 year relationship and for about the last 6 months this is what it was like. We both knew that it was coming to end, we both knew things were slowing down for us but we didn't want it to end, sadly it had to. It's really sad to kind of feel this hopelessness and know whats going to happen but you are still so devastated when the time comes to leave... I love you anthony green <3
