Testo Slow down Ben Lee

Slow down

I was 14 when she first kissed me
One night as we walked home
Under the gumtrees, we talked about Bukowski
And how we'd all die alone

The whole world blurred
Put my hand up her shirt
I didn't know, but I had to find out
As she pulled away, I could hear her say
"A real man knows how to slow down"

Slow Down
Slow Down
It makes me blush how the boys all rush
A real man knows how to slow down
Slow Down

I watched Pavement from the side of the stage in 1995
It was a beautiful scene, Stephen Malkmus was mean
Man I felt alive

I turned to Beck, who was next to me, and I told him I loved that sound
5 and a half feet tall, with a California drawl
He said "I like these songs best slowed down"

Slow Down
Slow Down
The best kind of beat is of dragging feet
Yeah the coolest cats in town know how to
Slow Down

We're getting older and that's ok
Cos we're getting better too
I don't know how much time we have left
But I know I wanna spend it with you

One day we'll get a place really far away
From any kind of crowd
I'll make your cup of coffee, every single morning
The time is gonna come to slow down

Slow Down
Slow Down
Some dreams fade, some come our way
Some die, some stick around
Slow Down
Slow Down
Let's whisper where we used to speak
Be quiet where we used to be loud
Slow Down
