Things start slowing down
Just before the storm we begin to drown
The storybook and pictures
Hanging from the light fixtures
Bending at the seams
Throwing off a colorful scenery
Pedals fall to the floor
I never wanted you to slam the door
But even though you would let me stay
I wish you would've made me
Things start slowing down for us tonight
Circles pattern our windows in the sunlight
Just like the rain
I never ever meant to give you pain
Or make you feel insane without me
My eyes burn from stareing
At the sun for so long to long
So as pedals fall to the floor
Why'd you ever slam the door
But even you would've let me stay[Made me sing]
I wish you would've made me[Because we're all slowly spinning]
Made me sing
Because we're all slowly spinning
So as pedals fall to the floor
Why'd you ever slam the door
But even you would've let me stay
I wish you would've made me
I wish you would've made me sing
Why didn't you make me

Slowing Down by Anthony Green off his new album avalon
things start slowing down for you and i
it's been a long time coming
if you keep holding on to what we brought
you're gonna drag down the road behind us
i never wanted it to be like this
to be this way
i'm just afraid that if you stay we'll never change
i never wanted it to be like this
to be this way
i'm just afraid that if you stay
you'll hate me
things start slowing down for you and i
it's been a long long long long time
if you keep holding on to what we brought
you're gonna drag down the road behind us
i never wanted it to be like this to be this way
i'm just afraid that if you stay we'll never never
i never wanted it to be like this
to feel this way
i'm just afraid that if you stay
you'll hate me
