Lyrics
[Guitar Intro]
(...)
[Verse 1]
Turned on the TV,
And heated leftovers.
Saw headlines in news,
And the weights people shoulder.
Things used to be better,
Guess I'm getting older.
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
If time's just a construct,
I don't wanna be constructed.
In paper mache,
And little support beams.
When the world crumbles down,
Will we patch it with more things?
[Pre-Chorus]
Walking so fast to our destination,
We forget to look around.
And hear the sound.
And feel the ground.
[Chorus]
Slow down, now,
Take it in, breathe it out.
It's not gonna keep you away.
You've been missing the most of it anyway.
[Long Instrumental]
(...)
[Verse 3]
A boy sits down for dinner,
His daddy's always missing.
Drives an hour into work each day,
Takes trips with his assistant.
If he ever heard Cat's Cradle,
I bet he didn't listen.
[Interlude]
[Verse 4]
The soldier gets back home,
But his mind's not like before.
Goes to get help instead,
They kick him out the door,
We started the war,
But what was it all for?
[Pre-Chorus]
Moving so fast to reach the ending,
We forget to look around.
And hear the sound.
And feel the ground.
[Chorus]
Slow down, now,
Take it in, breathe it out.
It's not gonna keep you away.
You've been missing the most of it anyway.
[Long Instrumental]
(...)
[Outro]
Slow down, now,
Take it in, breathe it out.
It's not gonna keep you away.
You've been missing the most of it anyway.
[End]

Slow down, now,
Take it in, breathe it out.
