Slow down the pace
I have never known me this out of place
If stupid acting dumb is the shape of things to come
And I add up that sum
Then this is where I can't get back from

Take my hand
I will follow
Only you can slow this down
Take my hand
And I will mellow
'Cause only you can hold me like a tourniquet
And make me stay, here with you

No ego left to bruise
At least there's something good in most bad news
'Cause I just don't want to cruise
With anyone of all the young dudes
'Cause round for round, only uncool will travel on gravel ground

So take my hand
I will follow
Only you can slow this down
Take my hand
And I will mellow
'Cause only you can slow this down
You can slow this down

Take my hand
I will follow
'Cause only you can slow this down
Take my hand
And I will mellow
'Cause only you can hold me like a tourniquet
Make me stay, here with you
