Slow Down
Chase Coy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spring is wakin' up the world here
The end of the school year
And as summer draws near
I'm growing anxious still

Birds are singin' in my backyard
So the sun can't be too far off
Painting the landscape
With all it's golden rays

And this is the last summer we'll have
All to ourselves
Before next year when we have to pack and move on out
No matter what happens
I'll miss the friends I've made in this town

And I wish
That time would just slow down

I wonder what the future holds for me
It's terrifying honestly
So I guess I'll just wait and see if I survive

And this is the last summer we'll have
All to ourselves
Before next year when we have to pack and move on out
No matter what happens
I'll miss the friends I've made in this town

And I wish
Time would just slow down slow down
Down slow down
Down slow down
Down slow down
Slow down

And this is the last summer we'll have
All to ourselves
Before next year when we have to pack and move on out
No matter what happens
I'll miss the friends I've made in this town





And I wish
That time would just slow down

Overall Meaning

The song "Slow Down" by Chase Coy is a reflective and poignant song about the fleeting nature of time and growing up. The combination of upbeat guitar strums and a melancholic tone in Coy's voice make the song both a nostalgic and wistful experience. In the first verse, Coy draws on classic imagery of spring, symbolizing new beginnings and change. He notes that the school year is ending and summer is coming, which is a time of excitement and possibility, but he is still anxious about what the future holds for him. The second verse is more introspective, as Coy expresses his fears and apprehensions about the unknown future that awaits him. He acknowledges that it is scary, but he resolves to face it head-on.


The chorus of the song is what really drives home the sentiment of the song - "...and this is the last summer we'll have all to ourselves, before next year when we have to pack and move on out. No matter what happens, I'll miss the friends I've made in this town. And I wish that time would just slow down." Here, Coy is lamenting the end of an era in his life, where he and his friends can hang out and enjoy their youth before they all move on to new chapters. He wishes that time would slow down because he wants to cherish and savor every moment before it's all gone.


Overall, "Slow Down" captures the universal experience of growing up and leaving behind familiar people, places, and things. The song is a reminder to appreciate what we have while we have it, and to not take anything for granted.
