This song is probably one of the 'filler' tracks on 'Sin'. It wasn't a single. It wasn't much of a concert hit. In fact, this song was rarely mentioned at all. Why is that? Who knows. Maybe it's just not that good. It was one of the rare mellow tracks on 'Sin'. Slightly dreamy and somewhat playful. Aaron came up with some good background vocals, and Nick's bass line quite nice. I suppose 'Slow' just helped round out the album. We'll leave it at that.

This song is very much written with 'emotions' in mind - literally. Some lines refer to colors. Some lines refer to common feelings that we have. Other lines note environmental shifts - weather and such. I'm not sure if this song is really clever or just very silly. No matter, because the chorus holds the song together nicely: things get crazy, Lord, so please slow us down. That's still true.

green i've seen
|
as jealous as anything
|
|
blue it's true
|
weep to sleep over you
|
|
i feel - and i kill
|
|
the sea in me
|
toss me up, around indeed
|
|
i will - be still
|
|
it's all chasing, racing
|
often crazy
|
does it show?
|
but i've been praying lately
|
and Christ will slow me, free
|
i know
|
|
red i'm dead
|
"grief has got me" so i've said
|
|
clear to hear
|
however gone i could be near
|
|
i will - be filled
|
|
it's all chasing, racing
|
often crazy
|
does it show?
|
(grab me, that i might be awake)
|
but i've been praying lately
|
and Christ will slow me, free
|
i know
|
(slow me, as i am running way to fast)
|
|
the wind in sin
|
on my hands instead again
|
|
instill - Your will
|
|
it's all chasing, racing
|
often crazy
|
does it show?
|
(grab me, that i might be awake)
|
but i've been praying lately
|
and Christ will slow me, free
|
i know
|
(slow me, as i am running way to fast)
