Slowpoke Lyrics

Something opened up the gates again,
I can't control it, so I rushed right in.
Here comes a mommy and a little girl,
Saw open drawers from around the world.

I got some medals hanging on my chest,
I've seen some good ones, but I missed the rest.
Lady luck don't you turn on me,
I'm just a student of your history,
I'm just a student of your history.

Slowpoke I'm gonna run with you,
Wear all your clothes and do what you do.
Slowpoke we got some things to find,
When I was faster, I was always behind,
When I was faster, I was always behind.

Something pushed back the curtain again,
The stage is deeper and the crowd is in.
The song is gentle, but the song is now.
Something's missing, but something is found,
Something's missing, but something is found,
Something's missing, but something is found.

Slowpoke I'm gonna run with you,
Wear all your clothes and do what you do.
Slowpoke we got some things to find,
When I was faster, I was always behind.
When I was faster,
When I was faster, I was always behind,
When I was faster...

Something opened up the gates again,
I can't control it, so I rushed right in.
Here comes a mommy and a little girl,
Saw open drawers from around the world.

I got some medals hanging on my chest,
I've seen some good ones, but I missed the rest.
Lady luck don't you turn on me,
I'm just a student of your history,
I'm just a student of your history.

Slowpoke I'm gonna run with you,
Wear all your clothes and do what you do.
Slowpoke we got some things to find,
When I was faster, I was always behind,
When I was faster, I was always behind.

Something pushed back the curtain again,
The stage is deeper and the crowd is in.
The song is gentle, but the song is now.
Something's missing, but something is found,
Something's missing, but something is found,
Something's missing, but something is found.

Slowpoke I'm gonna run with you,
Wear all your clothes and do what you do.
Slowpoke we got some things to find,
When I was faster, I was always behind.
When I was faster,
When I was faster, I was always behind,
When I was faster...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
