I went to a place To repair and rest myself But I never left The loop of the waves Crashing on my shore got stuck in my head And never came out Oh, it'd be better if the world would all slow down It'd be better if I knew then what I know now It'd be better if the world would all slow down Ohoh, ohoh, ohoh It'd be better if the world would all slow down It'd be better if I was swimmin' in the shallows 'Cause then I wouldn't need to spend my whole life Catching up to you ♪ But I held a seashell Close to my ear I listened To the sound of the deep It made me swear An oath of secrecy I couldn't tell a soul what it told me It'd be better if the world would all slow down It'd be better if I knew then what I know now It'd be better if the world would all slow down It'd be better if I was swimmin' in the shallows It'd be better if the world would all slow down It'd be better if I was swimmin' in the shallows It'd be better if I was swimmin' in the shallows The shallows, the shallows ♪ It made me swear An oath of secrecy I couldn't tell a soul what it told me, no I can't tell you what it told me, no I can't tell you what it told me, no I can't tell you what it told me, no ♪ I can't tell you what it told me, no I can't tell you what it told me, no I can't tell you what it told me I can't tell you what it told me I can't tell you what it told me I can't tell you what it told me I can't tell you what it told me, no
