Slow Down

Somehow it got in our heads
 to go as far as we can as fast as we can
 but we still don't understand
 the reason why it just isn't working
 one day, we wake up to find
 we're stacked up on the starting line
 racked up, all in a row
 on your mark, get set, gun shot, go
 At some point where we feel that we need
 to increase our velocity
 quickly, we build up the speed
 and then never look back again
 We get going so fast and it seems
 lose sight of the important things
 happiness, whatever that may mean
 friends and family, hopes and dreams
 Slow Down, there isn't any hurry now
 Sit back, take a look around
 Relax, ain't nothing to worry 'bout
 Everything will even out
 Once you go and slow it down
 People try to stay with the pace
 but the fact is that life is not a race
 one day it's all gonna end
 so smell those roses and pass by them
 some folks well they tend to forget well
 some guys just living it out yeah
 what you give is what you will get
 so people do the match now
 Slow Down, there isn't any hurry now
 Sit back, take a look around
 Relax, ain't nothing to worry 'bout
 Everything will even out
 Once you go and slow it down
 We get lost in a hussle and a bussle
 and we make a big fuss over nothing at all
 we get caught in a neverending struggle
 never knowing where we're going
 or why we're even going on
 Where do we think we are?
 Where do you think you are?
 Somehow it got in our heads
 to go as far as we can as fast as we can
 but we still don't understand
 the reasons why it just isn't working
 time keeps ticking along
 your heartbeat is beating strong
 but one day it will be gone
 so listen to the reef now
 Slow Down, there isn't any hurry now
 Sit back, take a look around
 Relax, ain't nothing to worry 'bout
 Everything will even out
 As long as you go and slow it down.
