Take It Slow
Lighthouse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Listenin' to the people fightin' next floor down
Tryin' to find fresh air to breath, just can't be done, no
I gotta get away and get some country sun
Look to the sky, the stars are outta sight
Hidden by the cloud of the city's might
Hear the sirens blowin' all over town
Well now, I gotta get away and get some country sound
Take it slow and take it easy
Lots of time for livin'
Get out on the road and take a big load off your mind
Out in the country
Your time's your time
And you know that you'll be feelin' right
Layin' in grass that's over two feet tall
Well now, I'm feelin' good, I'm feelin' clean, I'm feelin' small
Breathin' this air can really stone the brain
Like bein' lost and findin' your way again
Look to the sky, the stars are shinin' bright
The smile on the moon just helps to light the night
Sittin' doin' nothin' is bad they say - ha!
But sittin' here doin' nothin' keeps me busy all day
Take it slow and take it easy
Lots of time for livin'
Get out on the road and take a big load off your mind
Out in the country
Your time's your time out on the road
Take a load off your mind
Out in the country
Your time's your time out on the road
Take a load off your mind
Out in the country
Your time's your time out on the road
Take a load off your mind
Out in the country

Tired of bein' pushed, bumped and turned around
I'm exhausted from constantly being jostled and disrupted
Listenin' to the people fightin' next floor down
I'm forced to hear the quarrels of neighboring floors
Tryin' to find fresh air to breath, just can't be done, no
It's impossible to locate clean, unpolluted air
I gotta get away and get some country sun
I need to escape and bask in the sunlight of the countryside
Look to the sky, the stars are outta sight
The city's lights make it impossible to see the stars in the sky
Hidden by the cloud of the city's might
The city's power and influence obscures the natural beauty of the sky
Hear the sirens blowin' all over town
I'm constantly bombarded by the sound of emergency sirens throughout the city
Well now, I gotta get away and get some country sound
I must escape to hear the peaceful sounds of the countryside
Take it slow and take it easy
Relax and move at a leisurely pace
Lots of time for livin'
There's plenty of time to truly live life
Get out on the road and take a big load off your mind
Hit the open road and clear your head of worries
Out in the country
In the rural and natural expanse
Your time's your time
Your time is truly your own without constraints or distractions
And you know that you'll be feelin' right
You'll feel content and rejuvenated
Layin' in grass that's over two feet tall
Relaxing in incredibly high grass
Well now, I'm feelin' good, I'm feelin' clean, I'm feelin' small
I feel healthy, renewed, and humble
Breathin' this air can really stone the brain
Inhaling this fresh air can be overwhelming in the best way
Like bein' lost and findin' your way again
It feels like getting lost and then rediscovering your sense of direction
The smile on the moon just helps to light the night
The smiling moon provides additional light to the night sky
Sittin' doin' nothin' is bad they say - ha!
People think that being idle is negative, but I find it enjoyable
But sittin' here doin' nothin' keeps me busy all day
Simply relaxing in the countryside occupies my entire day
Your time's your time out on the road
Your time belongs solely to you while traveling
Take a load off your mind
Unload your mental burdens and just relax
Out in the country
Enjoying the peacefulness and freedom of rural life
Your time's your time out on the road
Traveling offers a unique opportunity to completely control and do as one pleases with their time
Take a load off your mind
Leave any stress or worries behind and let go of any mental weight
Out in the country
Embracing the simplicity and serenity of country life
Your time's your time out on the road
When traveling, your time is truly yours to enjoy and do with as you please
Take a load off your mind
Allow yourself to fully relax and let go of the pressures and anxieties of daily life
Out in the country
Experiencing the freedom and peace of the rural countryside
Your time's your time out on the road
While traveling, your time is truly yours to use however you wish
Take a load off your mind
Release any mental burdens that weigh you down and just enjoy the present moment
Out in the country
Savoring the tranquility and beauty of rural life
