Ben Sollee Slow Down lyrics

your feet were gladded
above the ground
you might as well have been flying
to some distant place.
and I was crying 'cause
there's no denying, someday it'll come true
slow down, this road won't slow down for me
and for you, it won't go fast enough.
slow down, this road won't slow down for me
and for you, it won't go fast enough.

I had my eye on the ball,
thought I knew how the game was played
but you grew so tall
found out that your head it
won't mind you could make.
slow down, this road won't slow down for me

and for you, it won't go fast enough.
slow down, this road won't slow down for me
and for you, it won't go fast enough.
fast enough, fast enough
fast enough.

you won't always want me to hold your hand
but the size of your clothes won't make it a main
as you grow, you will learn there ain't always a plane
but we did our best to slow down
this road won't slow down for me
and for you, it won't go fast enough.
slow down, this road won't slow down for me
and for you, it won't go fast enough.
