Slow Song for a Fast World

They’ve come to take you away Take you back to the time Where it all began You keep holding on To all your dreams and all the things These days are long since you’ve been gone You keep holding on Pretending nothing’s wrong, Looking all around for somewhere to go You don’t know If you’ve been here before Feels like you have You wait for the storm Now you’re so close You just let it go by Watch them dance To a slow song for a fast world What happened to long walks, late nights at the park, magical skylark when I turned my head in anticipation of feeling your hands in the dark writing letters, that long lost pastime when you could've been mine I could've been yours and the two of us would spend hours on end outdoors rapid changes in the way we live a little too much take and not enough give machines doing all the dirty work while we sit back and grin we need to break down, turn around or be the next in line to drown 'cause we're all the same in this here game we have created up til now so... bring back the way it used to be
