LUMINEERS
- Slow It Down Lyrics / with translationsI feel a filth in my bones
wash off my hands 'til it's gone
the walls their closin' in
with velvet curtains
Some love was made for the lights
some kiss ya cheek and goodnight
lift up a red high heel
lock up your doors with steel
Their makin' noise in my street
my blinds are drawn I can't see
smashed in my car window
didn't touch the stereo
Slow it down and you come back to bed
rest your arms and rest your legs
Act like you've been here before
smile less and dress up some more
tie up your scarf real tight
these boys are out for blood tonight
Slow it down and you come back to bed
rest your arms, rest your legs
And when she stood she stood tall
she'll make a fool of you all
don't ask for cigarettes
she ain't got nothin' left for you
I never, she never, we never look back
it wasn't what we were good at
and when it came to love
we were not good enough
Slow it down and you come back to bed
rest your arms, rest your legs
Don't you frown when your feelin' like that
only love can dig you out of it
wash off my hands 'til it's gone
the walls their closin' in
with velvet curtains
Some love was made for the lights
some kiss ya cheek and goodnight
lift up a red high heel
lock up your doors with steel
Their makin' noise in my street
my blinds are drawn I can't see
smashed in my car window
didn't touch the stereo
Slow it down and you come back to bed
rest your arms and rest your legs
Act like you've been here before
smile less and dress up some more
tie up your scarf real tight
Slow it down and you come back to bed
rest your arms, rest your legs
And when she stood she stood tall
she'll make a fool of you all
don't ask for cigarettes
she ain't got nothin' left for you
I never, she never, we never look back
it wasn't what we were good at
and when it came to love
we were not good enough
Slow it down and you come back to bed
rest your arms, rest your legs
Don't you frown when your feelin' like that
only love can dig you out of it
