I Can't Slow Down

By Bruce Clifford 

Is there a meaning to this history

A story within the mystery

Taking second chances on the fly

Is there a color to this destiny

The ever turning chemistry

Going out on a Sunday morning drive 

I can’t calm down when it’s getting so late

I can’t slow down when I’m feeling great 

The attitude of admission 

The lonely and betrayed

I can’t slow down when I know I’ve got it made

Is there a meaning to these shapeless clouds

A reason why the world’s so loud

Taking every moment that i can

Is there a diamond in the central trunk

The wise man said he was on the hunt

Doing all these things the best I can

I can’t calm down when it’s getting so late

I can’t slow down when I’m feeling great 

The attitude of admission 

The lonely and betrayed

I can’t slow down when I know I’ve got it made

I can’t slow down

I don’t know how

I can’t calm down

I can’t slow down right now

Is there a meaning to this history

A story within the mystery

Taking second chances on the fly
