Slow down the pace   I have never known me this out of place   If stupid acting dumb   Is this shape of things to come   And I add up that sum   Then this is where I can?t get back from      Take my hand, I will follow   Only you can slow this down   Take my hand and I will mellow   'Cause only you can hold me like a tourniquet   And make me stay here with you      No, ego left to bruise   At least there?s something good in most bad news   'Cause I just don?t want to cruise   With anyone of all the young dudes   'Cause round for round   Only uncool will travel on gravel ground      So take my hand, I will follow   'Cause only you can slow this down   You take my hand and I will mellow   'Cause only you can slow this down   'Cause you can slow this down      Take my hand, I will follow   'Cause only you can slow this down   Take my hand and I will mellow   'Cause only you can hold me like a tourniquet   Make me stay here with you
