Recorded Live at Room 5 Lounge, Los Angeles, on October 21, 2015

lyrics

Slow down, she says
Not knowing that this hummingbird heartbeat
Has been
A part of you since you could read
And tales left marks -
Pathways on your head and heart

Be still, and calm
And let her know you'll weather out
Whatever storm whips white across the sea
Mmhm
That you won't let her go
That easily

You've watched the years
Gather in the lines across your face
The fears -
Filling in the gaps
(They know their place)
She likes
Metaphor, and you are full of
Imagery
Time to own your pace
Because you can't let her go
So foolishly

In all the world
How many souls would leave you content
Filling voids you never knew
Were empty, til they went
But that is not the point
And is not what you meant
When you said
All you want, all you want, yeah
All you want is ten percent

So, slow down
You'll get there even if it takes some time
You have never wanted to be late
Or fall behind
But if
You rush you'll lose yourself
And lose her mind
And you
Are far too young for greed

See you
Can't let her go
But set her free
