Can We Move Slowly Today

Can We Move Slowly Today - LUNA VALE

词：Zhong Junxian

曲：Zhong Junxian

Slowly

today

The morning is already moving

before I find my shoes

There is coffee going colder

and a sky I barely use

I can feel the little hurry

trying to live inside my chest

But I am tired of calling running

the same thing as doing my best

I do not want to cancel love

I do not want to disappear

I just need the kind of pace

where I can feel myself still here

Can we move slowly today

Can we let the minutes stay

I do not want to miss my body

just to make it through the day

Can we move slowly today

Take the long and gentle way

I do not want to leave you waiting

I just need myself to stay

Slowly

the gentle way

Let the dishes wait a little

Let the message be unread

Let the sunlight reach the table

before we rush ahead

If I hold your hand in silence

please do not pull me through

I am learning how to walk here

without losing me or you

There is nothing wrong with quiet

There is nothing weak in rest

We can still be going somewhere

without leaving every breath

Can we move slowly today

Can we let the minutes stay

I do not want to miss my body

just to make it through the day

Can we move slowly today

Take the long and gentle way

I do not want to leave you waiting

I just need myself to stay

Maybe slow is not a failure

Maybe slow is how I hear

The little honest voice inside me

that gets lost when I am scared

If the world keeps getting louder

let the room be soft and plain

We can make a smaller morning

and still call it a brave thing

Can we move slowly today

Can we let the minutes stay

I do not want to miss my body

just to make it through the day

Can we move slowly today

Take the long and gentle way

I do not want to leave you waiting

I just need myself to stay

Slowly

today
