Slow it Down Lyrics

The glass is half empty, don't you see
There's nothing I can do to change these tired melodies
Crawling around on all fours
Passing up all the open doors
Crowded room full of furrowed brows
Looking at me like it's not my house
Slowly back out the doorway
I'll be back some other day
Maybe a lifetime, I can't say

So, easy does it my friend
Got a long way to the end
Slow it down, slow it down again
Or you'll never be let back in
Alright

My fingers pass all these worn out strings
My body shakes under the heaviest of things
What is right, and what is wrong
One man's blood upon my trembling palms
Put up a good enough fight
The earth, it shifts left and the moon, it shifts right
Twisted, tangled in love and in life
One more step and I'll be gone
Dark down 'neath the cemetary wall
So, easy does it my friend
Got a long way to the end
Slow it down, slow it down again
Or you'll never be let back in

So, easy does it my friend
Got a long way to the end
Slow it down, slow it down again
Or you'll never be let back in, oh
