Slower Songtext
von Jenny Baker

Last night
I was just 18
Young and naive getting drunk for the first time
On the steps outside
Tryna call Grace for advice, so terrified
Now somehow I′m 26 out in LA missing the nights
When my worst problem was wine

The older I get, the faster it goes
It's stuck in my head, it′s stuck in my throat
I'm trying my best, to live in the moment

But when I blink the party's over
And the world is on my shoulders
Take me off this roller coaster
Still a kid, I′m just a poser
I can′t keep my composure
When did my parents get older
Tomorrow's always creeping closer
Can it all go slower?


I hate
How I′m taught to hate
The lines on my face that weren't there yesterday
How I′m so afraid that I've missed my chance
And it′s already too late
I can't get home enough
My nephew keeps growing up
My heart just seems to find new ways to break

The older I get, the faster it goes
It's stuck in my head, it′s stuck in my throat
I′m trying my best, to live in the moment

But when I blink the party's over
And the world is on my shoulders
Take me off this roller coaster
Still a kid, I′m just a poser
I can't keep my composure
When did my parents get older
Tomorrow′s always creeping closer
Can it all go slower?

Slower
Can it all go slower
Slower
Can it all go slower?

The years turn into months turn into days turn into minutes
Over 'fore it′s begun, don't you blink or else you'll miss it
The years turn into months turn into days turn into minutes
God isn′t it fun, when you can′t stop overthinking?


But when I blink the party's over
Take me off this roller coaster
Still a kid, I′m just a poser
I can't keep my composure
When did my parents get older
Tomorrow′s always creeping closer
Can it all go slower?
