Slow Down The Time

I always was afraid

That I would die young

I'm too old for that now

Where has the time gone?

There's a sad song

That lives in all of us

It comes out when we cry

And reminds us how to trust

The house that I grew up in

When I was a kid

Don't look the same lately

As it once did

Maybe I'm just growin older

Or it's just growin small

But the house that I grew up in

Don't remember me at all

I'm not complainin of days left behind

I'm just lookin for somethin

To slow down the time

We're old people dying

And young people too

There's a gravestone awaitin

For me and for you

Well that doesn't scare me

Not as much as before

When I was invincible

Right before this new war

My friends who've grown older

Right next to me

Some are still the same

Some have broken free

But both are okay

And it's plain to see

Life is just what you make it

When you're not asleep

I'm not complainin of days left behind

I'm just lookin for somethin

To slow down the time

I've been a brother

A son and a friend

I only hope to grow better

Before my days end

We all have this moment

In our memories

Won't you think about that next time

That you feel lonely

I'm not complainin of days left behind

I'm just lookin for somethin

To slow down the time
