Please, slow it down.
There's a secret magic past world,
that you only notice when you're looking back at it…
and, all I wanna do is turn around.
I'm going down to sleep on the bottom of the ocean,
‘cause I couldn't let go.
And the water hit the setting sun.
Passing white daisies,
taking turns
close the door,
walk into the street catching raindrops on your tongue.
And for a minute… it all stops.
But it won't last me,
just a passing moment gone…
Please, slow it down.
There's a secret place that I know,
I can dig a grave out
and climb underground for good.
And, all I wanna do is turn around.
I'm going down to sleep on the bottom of the ocean,
‘cause I couldn't let go.
And the water hit the setting sun.
Passing white daisies,
taking turns.
All those evenings on the back deck of our first apartment…
they meant everything
but, the wind just carried them off.
And you can't go back now
just a passing moment gone.
Please, slow it down.
There's a secret magic past world,
that you only notice when you're looking back at it…
and, all I wanna do is turn around.
I'm going down to sleep on the bottom of the ocean,
‘cause I couldn't let go…
and the water hit the setting sun.
‘cause I couldn't let go….
of the passing moment gone.

| DavidS_UK (Hemel Hempstead, UK) | Posted: Apr 30, 2009 - 05:36 It's a 2, a definite happy clappy 2. Sorry, just not in teh mood for this after the awesome music of the last 2 hours. |
| McFlask (Maui, Hawaii) | Posted: Apr 28, 2009 - 19:49 Yep, Elliot Smith...jinx! It's a sweet song to me. *sigh* |
| MojoJojo (Indianapolis, IN USA) | Posted: Feb 24, 2009 - 18:39 I can't count the number of times I have heard this song. Every time, I wish it wasn't over. I can't think of too many songs I would say that about. For me it's a combination of lyrics that remind me of a very trying time in my life, and what I think is superb means of expressing it musically. If that makes any sense. |

| andrea924 | Posted: Dec 11, 2007 - 07:28 He sounds a lot like I'd imagine Brad Pitt would if he were singing/could sing. Which is only momentarily distracting-- a good listen otherwise. |
