about

life is short … so go real slow.
who knows what it means?
a conundrum of sorts. counter
intuitive for sure. paradoxical
to be certain. but it also makes
a certain kind of sense.

i listened and this is what i heard:

there’s a lot i don’t know about slow
there’s a lot about slow that i don’t know

lyrics

life is short so go real slow
life is short and don't you know

you can try to hold time keep it close to your heart
try to paint every dream that you dreamed from the start
but the colours will bleed and the images run
leave you holding your breath chasing after the sun

what matters most is open to persuasion
what matter most is up for debate
what matters most comes down to the occasion
what matters most lives between faith and fate

so go real slow—go the way you've been wanting to go
you never know—fast may not be better than slow
fast may not be better than slow

but what would i know about going slow?
what would i know about slow?
what would i know about going slow?
what would i know about slow?

fast fast fast fast fast—that's the speed i go
fast fast fast fast fast … i go
fast fast fast fast fast—that's the speed i go
fast fast fast fast fast … i go

there's a lot about slow that i don't know
there’s a lot that i don’t know about slow

life is short so go real slow
life is short and don’t you know

that the colours fly by but they swing round again
so try to forget to keep remembering
let go of time and stay close to your heart
let the days come together let the days come apart

life is short so go real slow
life is short so go real slow
life is short …
