Slow down and see it again (version 2)

Verse 1

Porch light flickers out in the rain

Dust on the table where your coffee cup stayed

The streetlamp casts shadows that dance on the wall

I'm standing here waiting for something to call

Your jacket's hanging from the hook

Same worn collar, same worn thread

Last time you wore it we said goodbye too soon

Now I just hold onto what's left

Pre-Chorus

Maybe this is the one thing that stays

Even when everything else goes away

Tell me if I'm crazy to think that way

Chorus

Slow down, slow down, and look at this place

We used to laugh right where my feet are now

The whole town's quiet like a secret we shared

I don't want it fading before I've had time to care

Slow down, slow down, take your hands off the wheel

Just for a minute, let me feel how love used to be

Every single thing that I thought would go away

Stays here in this moment with me

Verse 2

Bare trees swaying like they still have leaves

Same old porch swing creaking out its own breeze

We used to sit on it watching the whole sky turn red

Now it just holds my weight instead of two heads

Your boots are in the corner where you always left them

Still got the same scuff on the toe from that one trip we went on

I'm not saying I want yesterday back the way it was before

But maybe what's left can still be more than nothing at all

Pre-Chorus

Maybe this is the one thing that stays

Even when everything else goes away

Tell me if I'm crazy to think that way

Chorus

Slow down, slow down, and look at this place

We used to laugh right where my feet are now

The whole town's quiet like a secret we shared

I don't want it fading before I've had time to care

Slow down, slow down, take your hands off the wheel

Just for a minute, let me feel how love used to be

Every single thing that I thought would go away

Stays here in this moment with me

Bridge

You don't have to stay here

I just need you to stay with me

Chorus

Slow down, slow down, and look at this place

We used to laugh right where my feet are now

The whole town's quiet like a secret we shared

I don't want it fading before I've had time to care

Slow down, slow down, take your hands off the wheel

Just for a minute, let me feel how love used to be

Every single thing that I thought would go away

Stays here in this moment with me
