[Verse 1] I’m not scared of getting older But it’s strange to think about All the things that felt so distant Getting closer to me now There’s so much I don’t remember That I thought I’d never lose And the things I took for granted Are the ones I’d never choose [Pre-Chorus] Every summer feels a little shorter Every winter comes too soon There was time to spare for nothing Now there’s never any room [Chorus] How does a year go by so fast When an hour used to last? Why’s it always something small That I wish I could get back? All the ordinary moments That I barely thought about They were everything I wanted Before I worked it out [Hook] Slow down a little Slow down a little It’s moving too fast Slow down a little [Verse 2] There are things I used to hate That I’d give a lot to do And the age I called “too old” Doesn’t feel the way it used to I still think there’s time for everything Like I did at seventeen But the space between the years Is getting smaller in between [Chorus] How does a year go by so fast When an hour used to last? Why’s it always something small That I wish I could get back? All the ordinary moments That I barely thought about They were everything I wanted Before I worked it out [Hook] Slow down a little Slow down a little It’s moving too fast Slow down a little
