The Silver Bayonets - World Slow Down Lyrics

We're scratched at the surface
Only to reveal
The very things we've always
Wanted to conceal
And all of those moments
We wish we could catch
The times when time meant nothing
Have gone by in a flash

Wish I could make the world slow down
Enough to keep you here somehow
You take all the light when you are gone
Leaving me to face the dark alone
But I can't make the world slow down
I can't seem to live in the now
I try to stop the past from breaking through
I turn around, the future's coming too soon

With no sense of balance
I get easily tripped
So eager for you to believe in me
I easily get tricked
And all of the questions
That I never asked
And all of the answers
That stayed beyond my grasp

There's only an echo
When I call your name
My better judgement
Knows it's all in vain
The force of impact
Takes away our breath
Try to hang on but life and time
Pushes us closer to death
