Can't Slow Down
Kane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I'm sitting bank side by the river watching H2O flow
Well I left my home hit the open road while I got so many things on the go
Yea my minds been racing shoes laced and feet pacing
Times ticking on and just can't be replaced I've just
Got to let go
Ease my mind in the unknown
Hold up hold up just a minute
Take a look around too
Stop your head
Stop your head from spinning
Oh slow
Down
Well I'm pleasantly lost in my own thoughts in my own presence
Well untangle the knots and I'll learn from all of these lessons
Ohhh ya
Escape the beaten path
Carving sculptures that will last
Like the totems on the wall
I will learn from what has passed
I will navigate the trees
As far as the eyes can see
Building bridges to the clouds just to see if I'm allowed
To plant my body and my soul in the earths soil below
Watch the roots latch on to all the love that has grown
I've just got to let go
Ease my mind in the unknown
Hold up hold up just a minute
Take a look around to stop your head
Stop your head from spinning
Oh slow
Slow down slow down just a second
Take a look around too
Stop yourself
Stop yourself from sinking
Oh slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Well I'm pleasantly lost in my own thoughts in my own presence
Well untangle the knots and I'll learn from all of these lessons
Well I'm pleasantly lost in my thoughts in my own presence
Untangle the knots and I'll learn from all these lessons I've just
Got to let go
Ease my mind in the unknown
Hold up hold up just a minute
Take a look around to stop your head
Stop your head from spinning
Oh slow
Slow down slow down just a second
Take a look around too
Stop yourself
Stop yourself from sinking
Oh slow down




Slow down
Oh slow down
