Slow Down – Written Friday 1st August 1997 (Aged 22)

Slow Down

slow down
it’s going too fast
the jeans are my only possession
from that past

slow down
you’re moving much quicker than me
and i am struggling to see
banging my head in a dream

slow down
in my rooms
reading some runes
something about the sonic boom

slow down
you’re telling the facts way too fast
i cannot keep up
it’s never caught
and it’s tiring me out

slow down
it’s all going too fast
the weeks, the days
this new found, electronic phase

slow down,
slow down,
slow down,
slow down for me


James Garratt – Friday 1st August 1997
