Some of us will live our lives like we are just living life on the run
Some of us will die in our old age others of us will die young
But sometimes it feels like I am just getting so many things wrong
It feels like I'm walking down my last mile and my God it just feels so long

Please just slow it down
I'm walking off these years
Please just slow it down
'Cause I can't stand the tears

I would not expect you to understand it
'Cause things never turned out the way we planned it
I just hoped that I would know you and I would never have to walk this world alone
I would not expect you to ever notice
You never had the time to be over joyed with me
If you could hear me now, dear then I wouldn't want to lose it all at once

Some of us will live our lives like we are just dragging our heels through the night
Some of us will stay in the darkest holes and some of us will find the light
Sometimes it feels like I am just getting so many things wrong
It feels like I'm walking down my last mile and my God it just feels so long

Please just slow it down
I'm walking off these years
Please just slow it down
'Cause I can't stand the tears

I would not expect you to understand it
'Cause things never turned out the way we planned it
I just hoped that I would know you and I would never have to walk this world alone
I would not expect you to ever notice
You never had the time to be over joyed with me
If you could hear me now, dear then I wouldn't want to lose it all at once
