Tell me to slow down,
If you think that the road that I'm on is going nowhere.
Tell me to slow down,
If you know that I'm going too fast for my own good.
Tell me to slow down,
If the way is leading to a dead end.
Tell me to slow down,
Turn around, let me change the way I'm going.

Oh, I don't want to let go of all the things that I know are keeping me away from my life.
Oh, I don't want to slow down.
No, I don't want to look around
But I can't seem to work it out
So help me God.

Tell me to slow down,
If you see that I'm running too fast in the wrong race.
Tell me to slow down,
If you think that I can't keep up with my own pace.
Tell me to slow down,
'Cause you know if there's ever any question.
Tell me to slow down,
Turn around and I'm changing my direction
