lyrics

So many winds are blowing from so many ways
even before I step outside, back and forth I sway
If you see me sitting somewhere, it's not 'cause I plan to stay
It's just that I haven't yet been blown away

If I could slow down time
you'd probably find
me rushin' anyway

Well, I told you I can't do it, I said I'd walk away
but if your love is a gamble, babe, well, I can't help but play
So I'm all in on the next hand though they tell me I should stay
"You're gonna bust! You always rush! You know you're gonna pay!"

But if I could turn back time
you'd probably find
me bettin' anyway

I'm giving up my vices, oh the line I'll walk is straight
I'm thinking back and stopping to make sure my debts are paid
I'm keeping my eyes forward, trying not to go astray
But peace of mind is hard to find and you know I just can't wait

If I could slow down time
you'd probably find
If I could slow down time
I know you'd find
me rushin' anyway
