Lyrics
At 5pm, everyone’s got someplace to be
Fast lanes, fast cars, tearing up these downtown streets
Just like every other day, I walk home the long way
Past that diner on 4th, hoping she’s working late
That girl on the other side of the glass, there she goes...
She’s got me in slow motion
Turning a moment into forever
Time stops- suddenly frozen
Feeling every feeling
Like I’m drowning in an ocean
Yeah, she stops my world
She don’t even know it
She's got me in slow motion
She's got me in slow motion
Hear that bell hit the door and sit where I always sit
She says, “What’s a boy like you doing in a place like this?”
I see her lips moving, but all I can do is smile
Can’t get a word out with those eyes staring back at mine
Order the usual, lost in the beautiful, here I go…
She’s got me in slow motion
Turning a moment into forever
Time stops- suddenly frozen
Feeling every feeling
Like I’m drowning in an ocean
Yeah, she stops my world
And she don’t even know it
She's got me in slow motion
She's got me in slow motion
She clocks out and takes me by the hand
And we take the long way home
As slow as we can
Can’t believe this girl’s all mine
She’s got me in slow motion
Turning a moment into forever
Time stops- suddenly frozen
Feeling every feeling
Like I’m drowning in an ocean
Yeah, she stops my world
She don’t even know it
She's got me in slow motion
She's got me in slow motion
She's got me in slow motion
