Slow down girl
It's a funny old world
We've got everything but we can't have it it's true
You know we're passing through, oh-no

It wasn't so long ago
That we were afraid
Afraid that life would keep us waiting
Afraid that we would keep on taking
Back seat rides
Through our home-town lives
Where every trip's a dead end street

And baby, here we are
How did we get this far?
Before we closed our eyes and prayed for faster days
(Closed our eyes and prayed for faster days)

Try to escape
The person you are
Though we change our scene and keep on trying
We can't ever take back the years of love we gave
Of Love we made
And all the love that brought us here

And baby, here we are
How did we get this far?
Before we closed our eyes and prayed for faster days
(Closed our eyes and prayed for faster days)

And when everythings given
Forgiven forgotten
Forget it that we lost the trail
If there's love that we've started
Don't leave it half hearted like unsolicited mail
Have we finished our past?
Did we finish our present?
Don't wash it away like it's dirt
If we hide from the truth we'll get hurt
Don't lock it all away

I know we were young
With so much to learn
We thought we understood the contradictions of love
The innocent generations
Lost in time, One day we'll understand
Though we may run we cannot hide

'cos baby, here we are
How did we get this far?
Before we closed our eyes and prayed for faster days
(Closed our eyes and prayed for faster days)
We closed our eyes and prayed for faster days
(Closed our eyes and prayed for faster days)
