about

I had this half-time chord progression, used in the chorus, for years. I worked out the kinks in this song during sound checks at the Cactus Cafe in Austin, Texas. I brought Lloyd in to help me wrap up these lyrics as I was making an easy subject matter too hard to comprehend. 

lyrics

I’ve been runnin’ in circles
I’ve been thinkin’ in squares
I’ve been swimmin’ in quicksand
And I’m comin’ up for air

Slow down
I gotta slow down

The Virgin de Guadalupe
Is on a candle by my bed
If you wanna see a scary movie
Just look inside my head

Slow down
I gotta slow down

I’m outside the inbox
I dance on my stopwatch
I’ve got tattoos and dreadlocks
In another universe

I wanna go to enchanted mountain
Where make believe is real
Where faith is alive
And love is all I feel

I’m gonna make time
Take time
To soak it all in
I’m gonna meet up
With my friends
I’m gonna lose my pride
Step aside
And let something new begin

Slow down
I gotta slow down

I’ve been runnin’ in circles
I’ve been thinkin’ in squares
I’m gonna drive out to the desert
My brain needs a little fresh air

Slow down
I gotta slow down
Oh, I’m gonna take it slow
