[Verse 1]
I hear you re leaving town
Cause you re tired of hanging around
The same city limit signs
You ve been waiting around your whole life
Just like a baby bird
Nervous when it first learned
To spread its wings
And fly into the air
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I ve got to tell you something
These words might hurt
But please hold them long enough
To feel their weight as they plead
[Chorus]
Slow down, slow down
Grab a coffee here with me
And take a second to breathe
Slow down, slow down
Let s be quiet for a while
And I will try to make you smile
Slow down
[Verse 2]
You love it when it rains
Cause it always washes away
The dirt between the cracks
Of everything that we think we see
Now all your bags are packed
Your father s head tips back
Into the chair that he sits
While he watches you slip away
[Pre-Chorus]
He cries,
