Gather round, old familiar The portly stains of twelve years today It seems the same, my shelves are failing A cowards way to begin your day Even though i'm getting better I'm still told to take it slow. So I take it slow I take it slow Even though i'm getting better I'm still told to take it slow. Tighten the purse strings its healthy living To mind you mind, enrich your soul I say I love you, you have to know This years been hellish, its time to grow I try to journal, impossible I hide the truth, its unstoppable Even though i'm getting better I'm still told to take it slow. Even though i'm getting better I'm still told to take it slow. So I take it slow I take it slow Even though i'm getting better I'm still told to take it slow. The rain is heavier today I think The light gets brighter as you look at it You say that I should take a break for me And you, you tell me to take it slow I take it slow I take it slow I take it slow I take it slow I take it slow I take it slow I take it slow I take it slow.
