about

A song about uninvited life changes, healing, rest and surrender. Inspired by vocalist Rebecca's experience of living with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (M.E.).

lyrics

So you wanna go faster now
Than ever before?
That you're done with the things we've done
And you're ready for more.

You say you wanna go high
As you're lying on the floor.
You say your body is tired
But your longing is more.

Could you just give up what you know?
Could you just give up what you know?
'Cause the way that you're going is hurting your bones and mind

Could you just give up what you know?
Could you just give up what you know?
'Cause your soul's still swimming and the answer's still to find
It's just I've seen you go slow...

Out in the city's lights
No-one ever did see
The one who's been singing and dancing
And then comes back to me.
You've been craving those lights
But it's such a sad show.
Makes you go into overdrive
And then you wanna go home.

Could you just give up what you know?
Could you just give up what you know?
Cos the way that you're going is hurting your bones and mind

Could you just give up what you know?
Could you just give up what you know?
Cos your soul's still swimming and the answer's still to find
It's just I've seen you go slow...

Oh it's gonna take time.
And you'll need to say bye.
Oh it's gonna take time.
But I'm by your side.

It's just I've seen you go slow...
Yea I've seen you go slow... oooo

[Instrumental]

Oh it's gonna take time.
And you'll need to say bye.
Oh it's gonna take time.
But I'm here by your side.

It's just I've seen you go slow...
