Slow down the pace
I have never known me this out of place
If stupid acting dumb, is ths shape of things to come
And I add up that sum
Then this is where I can’t get back from

Take my hand, I will follow
Only you can slow this down
Take my hand, and I will mellow
Cos only you can hold me like a tourniquet
& make me stay, here with you

No ego left to bruise
At least there’s something good in most bad news
I just don’t want to cruise
With anyone of all the young dudes
Cos round for round
Only uncool will travel on gravel ground

So take my hand, I will follow
Only you can slow this down
Take my hand, and I will mellow
Cause only you can slow this down
You can slow this down

So take my hand, I will follow
Cos only you can slow this down
Take my hand, and I will mellow
Cos only you can hold me like a tourniquet
& make me stay, here with you
