We’re wasting our lives if our schedule isn’t full and bursting at the seams
We’re burning daylight and burning money because that’s what time is, supposedly
We can’t move fast enough
We can’t move fast enough

We walk with our minds glued to our plans spontaneity
is a dream we had when we were kids before responsibility
We cannot plan enough
We can’t move fast enough

I just want to slow down a minute
I just want to slow down a bit

So much on my mind, the train of thought has finally derailed
The thought of rest is so far gone I know that ship has sailed
I can’t think loud enough
I can’t think loud enough

I just want to slow down a minute
I just want to slow down a bit
I just want to slow down a minute
I just want to slow down a bit

I’m running here and I’m running there
Running late and running scared
Running hard and getting run down
I’m running out of excuses now

I just want to slow down a minute
I just want to slow down a bit
I just want to slow down a minute
I just want to slow down a bit
