Slow Down Time

(hummmmm) We used to count the days till Friday,

Now we wish that time would slow.

Used to dream about tomorrow,

Now tomorrow’s getting close.

Pictures from a couple years ago Feel like they were yesterday,

How did all the little moments Disappear along the way?

We were running through the sprinklers,

Bare feet underneath the sun,

Thinking that the days were endless,

Thinking growing up was fun.

Why does growing up come too fast?

Why does every good thing turn into the past?

One minute we’re laughing,

Next minute we’re looking back,

Wishing we could find a way To get one day back.

It goes too fast,

too fast, Wish I could make the moment last.

We don’t notice while it’s happening,

How the ordinary shines.

Bedroom floors and late-night talks,

Little jokes that changed our lives.

We thought we’d have forever,

So we never said goodbye To the versions of ourselves We were

leaving behind.

Maybe growing up isn’t losing

Everything we used to know.

Maybe we can take the memories

Everywhere we go. And when we’re older,

looking back At the people we became,

I hope we smile and realize We were happy in those days.

So take another picture,

Stay up just a little late.

Laugh until we’re crying,

Don’t rush through today.

‘Cause someday this exact moment Will be something that we miss,

And I don’t wanna spend today

Wishing I was living it.

’Cause it goes too fast,

too fast,

And nothing ever moves this slow

again.

Too fast… Yeah, growing up comes too fast.

But maybe that’s why

We should make right now last.
