Slowly Lyrics - Outer South - Conor Oberst

Potential, well you're a loaded line 

The veil between the world and the faceless bride 

There's nothing yet but a bunch of white 

Potential, well you're a loaded line 

Tomorrow, well I'll wait for you 

Laying right here floating in this swimming pool 

There's a lot of things I got left to do 

Oh tomorrow, well I'll wait for you 

The days keep slipping down into the cracks 

It takes a while to realize where you're at 

Slowly, so slowly 

Slowly, so slowly 

Slowly, it's slowly ending 

Dementia, you better treat me good 

The human race is in its second childhood 

I never learned but I understood 

Oh dementia, you better treat me good 

Sometimes I need a place to go 

Classical music plays from my radio 

I sit real still, let my shadow grow 

Yeah, sometimes I need a place to go 

My mind keeps slipping back into the past 

I hope someday that I can get it back 

Slowly, so slowly 

Slowly, so slowly 

Slowly, it's slowly ending 

Slowly, so slowly 

Slowly, so slowly 

Slowly, it's slowly ending 

And soon that train is gonna pull away 

I hear it whistlin' 

I try to wave at a glowing face 

That can't tell who I am 

Slowly, so slowly 

Slowly, so slowly 

Slowly, it's slowly ending
