Lyrics of 'The Heart That Slows Down' by Canyon City

It comes tapping at your window
Like the midnight rain in June
Starts with innocence then grows up slow
Until the thunder shakes the room

My dear, I feel like I could fall hard
Though it's been a year or two
I recognise those worry lines like scars
There's something coming back to you

And how I wish this storm could drown and wash your ghosts away
If overnights best-darkened clouds just pour out and dissipate

But if your silhouette is riveted in silence
Like a wallflower in a dark lit room
And in that moment when you eye the exit signs above the door
And everyone just wants a little more
A little more, a little more
I'll give it back to you if you want me to
I'll give it back to you and I'll just do without
I'll give it back to you if you need me to
I'll give it back to you and walk away to the sound of the heart that slows down

You're like the lighting in the distance
The second everything gets cleared
And there suspended in the instant
Our wonder hangs above our fear

But when the light strikes every town around us feels the shock
But even so, I try to slow down time and dance in the breath we've got

'Cus if your silhouette is riveted in silence
Like a wallflower in a dark lit room
And in that moment when you eye the exit signs above the door
And everyone just wants a little more
A little more, a little more
I'll give it back to you if you want me to
I'll give it back to you and I'll just do without
I'll give it back to you if you need me to
I'll give it back to you and walk away to the sound of the heart that slows down

Oh father tell me and be honest
Is some life meant to break your dreams
To get our eyes used to the darkness
So come here light
We'll finally see
