I always took my time When I was growing up Never got in fights And I never fell in love My heart it use to feel Like it wasn't strong enough To make it on my own In this old world of ours (Oh) Slow down darling It's okay No need to rush We won't get ahead in this race We etched our names Out in chalk and rain But when we bloom We'll do it our way Oh we'll do it our way One day I packed a bag And I head out on a trail Where youth was for the young And for the old the same I tread upon that soil And I toiled in the mud To learn that we bloom late Or life fills us like a flood Slow down darling It's okay No need to rush We won't get ahead in this race We etched our names Out in chalk and rain But when we bloom We'll do it our way Oh we'll do it our way Oh we etched our names Out in chalk and rain But when we bloom When we bloom
