Slow Down

Your eyes are sharp
You can see it now
That you're vulnerable to them
Somehow
The city's child with no memory
Of childhood dreams
Too busy making enemies
With the whispers on the street they're singing
Baby can't you just slow down
Put your feet back on the ground
What you've lost can still be found
It's not too late now
To pick up what's left of you
And watch the world come into view
Racing time while I'm chasing dreams
Seems like patience came
To everyone but me
In this life I've made time
For everyone but me
And built a wall high up between me and
The whispers on the street they're singing
Baby can't you just slow down
Put your feet back on the ground
What you've lost can still be found
It's not too late now
To pick up what's left of you
And watch the world come into view
But you're still making enemies in the falling rain
And I'm still racing time though I can hear you say
Baby can't we just slow down
Put our feet back on the ground
What we lost can still be found
It's not too late now
So go find the rest of you
And promise that you'll find me too
You're eyes are sharp
You can see it now
That we're vulnerable to them
