about

This song is about the relationship to people that make you feel like slowing down and helping you escape the rush of a life you're living in.

lyrics

waking up in the early morning
we’re stressed out, there’s no air left to breath
floating on a stormy ocean
the waves get higher, get faster
there’s no land in sight
we gotta know how to win this fight

working hard we’re under pressure
drowning in the tasks we’re supposed to do
tryna find a way out
all that smoke in our lungs, breath it out
but something is showing me how
yes something is slowing me down
is slowing me down

now we go
there’s something waiting for us
reach for the sun when it’s touching the mountain tops
we dance when the moon is high high high
we dance when the moon is high

hold me close and save me from the rush
show me the place where’s only us
nobody else shouting ‘round
we’re save and sound, save and sound

there’s an open door
let’s go through it
we both know it’s our chance, this is it
we escape this cage of tired hearts
it’s our chance, it’s our chance
you are showing me how
yes you are slowing me down
slowing me down

now we go
there’s something waiting for us
reach for the sun when it’s touching the mountain tops
we dance when the moon is high high high
we dance when the moon is high

now we go
there’s something waiting for us
reach for the sun when it’s touching the mountain tops
we dance when the moon is high high high
we dance when the moon is high


ooooh oooooh
ooooh oooooh

ooooh oooooh
ooooh oooooh
ooooh oooooh

we should go, we should go
‘cause we know it’s our day
we escape

we should go, we should go
‘cause we know it’s our day
we escape

we should go, we should go
‘cause we know it’s our day
we escape
