Macy Gray - Slowly Lyrics

Would it be so bad if we just stopped
For a while
And enjoy the thrills we could all be still
Let the world just pass us by

But it's all hurry, hurry, run, run
There's no time for this
We want more and more, got to win, got to score
So afraid of what we'll miss

And it moves so fast and nothing lasts
This too here will come to pass
Wanna spend my days away from all the fuss
Wanna spend them with you, baby, but you're in a rush

Slowly
Why can't we just take our time?
Slowly
I wish that we could take our time

Yeah, we're all getting older
Realize there's no fountain of youth
This is it, came quick it's a lift, it's a bitch
It's your moment, what you're gonna do?

Hey time would you be a friend?
Ooh, bless us with the chance
To really grow up could you slow it up
Would you postpone the end?

'Cuz you move so fast and nothing lasts
This too here will come to pass
Wanna spend my days away from all the fuss
Wanna spend them with you, baby, but you're in a rush

Yeah, slowly
Why can't we just take our time?
Slowly
I wish that we could take our time

'Cuz you move so fast and nothing lasts
This too here will come to pass
And it flies and it rolls like the storms and the thunders
Stop and love me, baby, our days are numbered

Hey, slowly
Why can't we just take our time?
Hey, slowly
I wish that we could take our time, oh, we'll take our time

Stop and love me, baby, slowly love me, baby
And our days are numbered
If I take my time, slow it down
What you're doing with me, baby, yeah
Slowly
