When that which I fear becomes real it seems small
When compared to the size in my mind
Wish I could take what was coming with no preparation
My thoughts leave me blind

But I cannot stop these voices of anticipation
Bringing disaster on my home
Put your cool hand on my feverish head
And tell me, tell me you understand

Slow right down my friend
Slow right down
Slow right down
Slow down

I'll take defeat at the hands of fate
As long as I'm prepared
But throw me a bomb which I didn't see coming
And my thoughts run scared

Been through it once
Been through it twice
Each step and detail
I will make this film come true
This building is falling about my shoulders
I don't know girl what to choose

Slow right down my friend
Slow right down
Slow right down
Slow down

Been through it once
Been through it twice
Each step and detail
I will make this film come true
This building is falling about my shoulders
I don't know just what to do

Been through it once
Been through it twice
Each step and detail
I will make this film come true
I run through the choices the outcome's daunting
And I don't know what to do
