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
