The hum of street lamps Did smother all of the noise And spread out like a blanket And the still that crept us out of bed And into the blue line car Held my head in focus Slow down We are traveling too quickly From winter '04 You laid your head down To catch up on your rest To turn yourself back out again I stepped across from roof to roof While the city was on pause Before we went back in again Slow down We are traveling too quickly From winter '04 Hey, where'd you go? I thought that you were coming along with me You could not outrun all the thoughts That would enter your heart and head Your cousin's party Did poison our eyes and ears And dropped us into comas Sometimes I'm aware that I've skipped days And I don't know why they went And I don't care that they're gone Slow down We are traveling too quickly From winter '04
