Slow Down - The Dares

We’re getting colder under the sun

Staying longer where we never should’ve gone

Charming and able because we’re young

Life’s a contest that you never knew you won

We’ll stay out until we’re swallowed by sun

Everyone

Slow down, my body’s aching

And I’m trying to shake this out

I know that we can flourish

In the currents of ourselves

I’ve grown beyond containing

And you’ve gotta break me out

But I can’t promise I won’t let you down

We’re getting older under the sun

Twenty-two years and we’ve only just begun

Live in this fiction surrounding us

New renditions that we’re learning how to trust

We’re staying out until we’re swallowed by sun

Everyone

Slow down, my body’s aching

And I’m trying to shake this out

I know that we can flourish

In the currents of ourselves

I’ve grown beyond containing

And you’ve gotta break me out

But I can’t promise I won’t let you down
