Mike Mains And The Branches - Slow down lyrics

I hear you're leaving town 'Cause you're tired of hanging around The same city limit signs You've been waiting around your whole life Just like a baby bird Nervous when it first learns To spread its wings And fly into the air Now I've got to tell you something These words might hurt, but please hold them Long enough to feel Their weight as they plead Slow down, slow down Grab a coffee here with me And take a second to breathe Slow down, slow down Let's be quiet for a while And I will try to make you smile Slow down You love it when it rains 'Cause it always washes away The dirt between the cracks Of everything that we think we see Now all your bags are packed Your father's head tips back Into the chair that he sits While he watches you slip away He cries, "Will you please forgive me, darling I can't keep living brokenhearted First it was your mother Now it's bound to be you" Slow down, slow down What about all our memories When you would dance and sing for me Slow down, slow down What happened to my baby girl Who used to sit on top the world Slow down You can travel the world Just as fast as your feet'll go Graze the Atlantic shorelines Sleep in hotels of Tokyo Lose everything in Vegas Then go fall in love in Spain But like Arizona's canyons A hole in you remains I just want you to believe That the invisible frame's what we see And it's as beautiful as a baby's eyes And as incredible as the first time they breathe Slow down, slow down Grab a coffee here with me And take a second to breathe Slow down, slow down Let's be quiet for a while And I will try to make you smile Slow down
