Slow down girlnIt's a funny old worldnWe've got everything but we can't have itnIt's true you know we're passing through all alonennIt wasn't so long agonThat we were afraidnAfraid that life would keep us waitingnAfraid that we would keep on takingnBack seat rides through our home town liesnWhere every trip's a dead end streetnnAnd baby here we arenHow did we get this far?nBefore we closed our eyes and prayed for faster daysnnYou try to escapenThe person you arenThough we change our scene and keep on tryingnWe can't ever take back the yearsnOf love we gave, love we madenAnd all the love that brought us herennAnd baby here we arenHow did we get this far?nBefore we closed our eyes and prayed for faster daysnnAnd when everything's given, forgiven, forgottennForget that we lost the trailnIf there's love that we've startednDon't leave it half-heartednLike unsolicited mailnHave we finished our past?nDid we finish our present?nDon't wash it away like it's dirtnIf we hide from the truth we'll get hurtnDon't lock it all awaynnI know we were youngnWith so much to learnnWe thought we understood the contradictions of lovenThe innocent generations lost in sandnOne day we'd understandnThough we may run we cannot hidennCause baby here we arenHow did we get this far?nBefore we closed our eyes and prayed for faster daysnClosed our eyes and prayed for faster daysnWe Closed our eyes and prayed for faster daysnClosed our eyes and prayed for faster days
