Slow Down
Douwe Bob (The Netherlands) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I should find a place to go and rest
I should find a place to lay my head tonight
Every morning there’s another start
Every morning hits so hard
Guess I’m running scared guess I’m running on empty
‘Cause it seems I’ve been lead astray
I keep searching for an answer for a way
Won’t you help me
You gotta slow down brother
Slow down brother
Slow down if you can’t go on
Slow down brother
Slow down brother
Slow down if you can’t go on
Do you think I’ll ever learn
I used to be without concern
Now all I ever do don’t seem to free me
Mister can you help me
‘Cause it seems I’ve been lead astray
I keep searching for an answer today
Won’t you help me
You gotta slow down brother
Slow down brother
Slow down if you can’t go on
Slow down brother
Slow down brother
Slow down if you can’t go on
