Everybodys in a hurry
Caught up in keeping up with things that dont matter at all
Searching for shortcuts
To speed things up as if life is not fast enough
What happened to the front porch
Pa**ing the day with the wave to all the cars as they pa**
Time stops for no one
Weve all got one thing in common and its that were not growing young
Lets unplug the clocks
Not let another minute pa**
Help me find a way to stop this life from moving so fast
Wont you come and slow the world down
Slow the world down
Slow the world down with me
Dont think about tomorrow
I make a toast to just enjoy the taste of today
Cause lifes such a short song
Weve all got to dance to the beat of the second hand slowly counting down
Lets unplug the clocks
Not let another minute pa**
Help me find a way to stop this life from moving so fast
Wont you come and slow the world down
Slow the world down
Slow the world down with me
Ill take the quiet of the country or the sand of the beach
A place where telephone lines dont reach
Far from the city lights that steal the stars from the night sky
And the high rise shadows that block out the sun light
Where the sandcastles sink cause the tides always low
Theres always time and it always runs slow
Slow the world down
Slow the world down
Slow the world down
With me
