Slow Me Down

[Intro] [Verse 1] Best thing I ever did was become useless To a world that swore it knew best Chasin’ clocks, chasin’ money, chasin’ noise Never stoppin’ long enough to rest I was runnin’ full speed with my head down Tryna win a race I never chose Every sign I ignored kept whisperin’ Boy, slow down before you break your soul [Pre-Chorus] Then life tapped my shoulder real quiet Didn’t shout, didn’t need to pretend Just said, “Sit with yourself for a minute And you might recognise who you’ve been” [Chorus] You don’t realise how good your life is Till it slows you down Till the silence starts talkin’ And the truth comes around Turns out peace ain’t weakness And rest ain’t losin’ ground Best thing I ever did in my lifetime Was let the whole damn world slow me down [Verse 2] Started seein’ colour in the mornin’ Heard my own thoughts breathe again Learned the loudest things worth keepin’ Don’t scream — they just settle in I don’t need a crown or a scoreboard Or a life that looks good online I found more truth in a quiet moment Than I ever did in the grind [Pre-Chorus 2] Funny how losin’ direction Pointed me back to myself Turns out fallin’ apart a little Can teach you how to be well [Chorus] You don’t realise how good your life is Till it slows you down Till the rush fades away And you’re still standin’ proud I stopped fightin’ the moment I stopped tryin’ to d***n Best thing I ever did in my lifetime Was let the whole damn world slow me down [Bridge] If I never speed up again I’ll still be further than I was ‘Cause I finally know what matters And I finally know my worth [Final Chorus] You don’t realise how good your life is Till it slows you down Till you breathe in the moment Instead of countin’ it out Best thing I ever did was become useless To the noise, the fear, the doubt Best thing I ever did in my lifetime Was let the whole damn world slow me down [Outro] Funny how slowin’ down Was the fastest way home.
