“Slow it down” she said 
But I was too lost in my thoughts to notice
What you wanted
Was something you’re not ready for yet

We weren’t conscious 
Of all the causes and effects of our actions 
And I saw this coming
But I kissed your lips instead of saying something 

Chorus:
Slow down
My heart is beating now
Slow it down 
My heart is beating now 
Slow it down
It’s you I want but you’re up in the clouds 

I held your heart between my 
Two hands so casually love
Now I lay apart 
From your skin

Chorus 
 
Outro: rain clouds…..

Rainclouds

v1: 
so you sailed away 
on your big old ship 
left me here all alone in my apartment 
while you went on a trip

But it was no vacation
cause you didn’t come back
what am i supposed to do with all your shit girl?
I could careless 

chorus (oooo’s) 

v2:
How’s the ocean taste? 
Bet it’s pretty salty 
Sounds like you, it’s the perfect fit along with your bitter coffee

I always liked mine sweet 
With two sugars and some creme 
You always said, “thats such a waste of a good cup of coffee” 

Chorus 

v3:
spring flowers blooming
winter came and its gone
Just like you but its only right to accept it and move on 

I loved you dear
I really did 
But some things aren’t meant to be forever and I knew this 

Chorus

Outro:
So you took your things
Then gave me mine
You walked away 
In that bright sunshine
And right then I knew, right then I would be just fine

'Cause the trees with grow
Without you here 
And the sun will keep on shining 
I know it will
And someday I’ll see you again and it’ll be alright 
Yea someday I’ll see you again and it’ll be just fine 

Sailed Away
