When you're twenty-five
So alive
All the world comes crashing
Down on youTaking that freeway
Oh, river of no return
Take that slow-bound highway
River of no returnYeah, you got to slowdown
With my tears held back
Yeah, you were the crazy one
With my tears held backYeah, you got to slowdown
Can't hold my tears back
Yeah, you were the crazy one
With my tears held backFly so high, we touch the sky
Fly so high, we kiss the sky
Fly too high, and I feel part of me die
Fly too high, never wonder whyYeah, you got to slowdown
With my tears held back, yeah
You were the crazy one
With my tears held backYeah, you got to slowdown
Can't hold my tears back
Yeah, you were the crazy one
With my tears held backAnd I, oh I, yeah
I believe in spirits in the sky
I believe in harmony
I believe in stars up aboveI believe in one true love
The next day in a dream
Saw you cross the street
You said hello, how are you?
And how does it feel to be so complete?Said there's one law for the lion
He just don't care at all
One law for the lion
He just don't scare at all, and I saidYeah, you got to slowdown
With my tears held back
Yeah, you were the crazy one
With my tears held backYeah, you got to slowdown
Can't hold my tears back
Yeah, you got to slowdown
With my tears held back
Got to slowdown
