Lyrics
Late night on a quiet street
With the moon above my head
I try picking up my feet
But I keep stumbling instead.
City lights calling out to me
?take a good look at your life?.
So I try taking in everything I see
Wondering if I?m really doing what?s right.
So I?m trying to remember
The things that I never had to remember
Cause they only would make me sad to remember
And I?m trying to let them go.
Learning to take it slow.
Late night as the hours leap
Across your sleepy face.
I try, but I just can?t keep
All my thoughts from swimming in your embrace.
Can I trust everything you say?
Cause your kisses tell no lies
But I mustn?t spend even one more day
In your arms if they?re already occupied.
Cause I?m trying to remember
The things that I never had to remember
Cause they only would make me sad to remember
And I?m trying to let them go.
Learning to take it slow.
And all that I don?t know
Is out of my control
And I can only try to climb
Faster than the hands of time
And let go
Learning to take it slow.
Late night as my heart gently beats
To the rhythm of a lonely drum
I try but it only repeats
As an anthem of the life I?ve begun.
And I?m trying to remember
The things that I never had to remember
Cause they only would make me sad to remember
And I?m trying to let them go.
Learning to take it slow.
