Up in the morning when I could be slumbering
Wake up
Making that bacon and cups of Columbian
What's up
Feeling as bright as the sun in the summer
My baby is baking a bun in the oven
That baby is coming
Anticipation it is all encompassing
Hold up
The train's out the station, the breaks are not functioning
So what
The acceleration of life is so humbling
I'm flying and fumbling, high as a bumble bee
I know, I gotta go
Go slow
Take a picture
Cause you know you might miss her
You move so fast you gotta go slow
So much school and still you don't know
Go slow
Take a picture
Cause you know you might miss her
You move so fast you gotta go slow
So much school and still you don't know
You gotta go slow
You gotta go slow
My family's on and off of the planet
My brother is gone and my daughter's in transit
And maybe she's bringing back something that vanished
Like one of his smiles or one of his dances
What if she dances
We talk on the phone when the feeling is rough
But don't get together not nearly enough
Went to my sister's and she made us brunch
Took a walk on the beach and got a picture of us
All six of us
I try not rush
Go slow
Take a picture
Cause you know you might miss her
You move so fast you gotta go slow
So much school and still you don't know
Go slow
Take a picture
Cause you know you might miss her
You move so fast you gotta go slow
So much school and still you don't know
You gotta go slow
You gotta go slow
There's hours of boredom and then there's seconds of panic
But there's a minute in the middle that we might get to manage
Well there's no fighting the hands on the clock
They don't stop
They don't slow
They just go
So just go
Go slow
Take a picture
Cause you know you might miss her
You move so fast you gotta go slow
So much school and still you don't know
Go slow
Take a picture
Cause you know you might miss her
You move so fast you gotta go slow
So much school and still you don't know
