Slow Down
Paul Cauthen Lyrics

I'm faded
I am feeling low, probably from fatigue or overwhelming circumstances.

Staring at four in the mornin'
I am still awake, unable to sleep, or perhaps I am deep in thought.

Still waitin'
I am hoping for something or someone to come through, but it has not yet happened.

For the good Lord to strike the chord
I am relying on divine intervention to help me through my struggles.

Well, don't let me down
I am fearing disappointment or failure, and asking to be helped or saved.

I'm on my knees now
I am desperate, humbling myself before a higher power, or perhaps physically conveyed.

Still prayin'
I am continuing to hope, waiting for a better outcome to present itself.

What'll you have of me now?
I am asking what more I can do or offer to receive the help I need.

Slow down, slow down
I am urging myself or someone else to take a break, relax, and not rush through life.

The fire's burnin' again
The passion or drive for something is reignited or growing.

You'll make it back, my friend
Encouraging someone to not lose hope and that they will eventually return to where they were meant to be.

Well, lately
Recent events or experiences have led me to where I am now.

I can feel it in my bones, it's over
I have an instinctual feeling that something important is coming to an end or has ended.

And I'm breakin'
I am hurting or falling apart emotionally, physically, or mentally.

And all I really need is you
I am expressing dependency or reliance on someone else to help me get through tough times.

We'll make it back, my friend
Together we will return to a better situation, a message of reassurance and hope.

The fire's burnin', desire's yearnin'
The passion, want or need is growing stronger, urging attention and action.

When you call my name
A plea for another person to pay attention to me, hear me, or not forget about me.

Don't leave me out to dry
Asking to not be left alone, stranded, or without help or support.

'Cause it's so hard to love
It is difficult to feel or express affection or care when there is so much going on.

When we're movin' at the speed of light
When we are rushing through life without a break, it is difficult to maintain strong relationships or feelings.

When I call your name
Asking for someone else's attention or recognition of my needs.

'Cause it's so hard to love
Reiterating how challenging it is to love and express affection when things are hectic or chaotic.

Movin' at the speed of light
Rushing through life too quickly, without taking a moment to slow down and evaluate priorities.

Starin' at four in the mornin'
Still awake, alert or lost in thought when the hours are early, late, or both.

Still prayin'
Holding onto hope, asking for help, intervention or guidance.
