Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Arms up, touch the sky, yeah we celebrate
All you did was slow down
Cut ties and I′m gone just like trebuchet
Angels singing slow down
Slow down
Heavens sending hope down
Heavens sending hope down
Off day up and I'm energized
Most days I′m just trynna stay alive
Up all night trynna feed my soul
Highs I do keep me up at night
So I get high as a satellite
Make my peace and I let it go
Cause
Heavens sending hope down
Arms up, touch the sky, yeah we celebrate
All you did was slow down
Cut ties now I'm gone like trebuchet
Angels singing slow down
Slow down
Heavens sending hope down
Heavens sending hope down
I'm not lost so don′t come lookin′
Just pull back to keep on pushin'
If you need a little space, say oh (oh)
I′m not lost so don't come lookin′
Just pull back to keep on pushin'
If you need a little space, say oh (oh)
Heavens sending hope down
Arms up, touch the sky, yeah we celebrate
All you did was slow down
Cut ties now I′m gone like trebuchet
Angels singing slow down
Slow down
Heavens sending hope down
(And just what do you expect after 25 years)
(Ah ha ha ha, come on in sir and make yourself at home)
Heavens sending hope down
Arms up, touch the sky, yeah we celebrate
All you did was slow down
Cut ties now I'm gone like trebuchet
Angels singing slow down
Slow down
Heavens sending hope down
Heavens sending hope down
