Slow Down

Written by Trey Alexander Ovens

When will the sun catch up with you?
Living your life like a race to be won
Minutes wasted every second
On the road to knowing what you've done
Opportunities passed up and left to die
You didn't give a second thought to
Clear your mind and open your eyes
To see how you threw away your youth

With every "i'll do it later"
Or "it slipped my mind"
You dug a hole so deep
You'll never find your way out

I'll draw back the curtains for you
And let the sun in to slow you down
We're riding on this intuition
A premonition that we have to grow up now
I can't say i've been immune, no
I'm just like you, but who isn't?
Everything just seems to go by so fast
I want to stop but i just can't abandon my mission

With every "i'll do it later"
Or "it slipped my mind"
We dug a hole so deep
We'll never find our way out
