Here's the slowed version of my latest single...

lyrics

We'd go out in the sun
Yeah always having fun
But then the thought always lingered
How long will this last
Till it comes undone?

When you were 10 years old
The morning sun turned gold
And then the skies all turned black as the people fled from fires burning uncontrolled

I wanna be in this place forever
Please make it last, let's fight together
I wanna be in this place forever
Please make it last, let's fight together

We went down to the beach
We got into the sea
But then the smoke blocked the sun and the temperature dropped by 20 degrees

I thought then: This is it
The end of innocence
A halted childhood cos there were only nine normal summers till the fires kicked in

I wanna be in this place forever
Please make it last, let's pull together
I wanna be in this place forever
Please make it last, let's pull together

And now we're getting floods
Just like they said we would
The politicians act surprised but they're never gonna do what science says they should

As I watch you grow up
I'm wondering what's up
With all the things that you see happening to this world as it gets fucked up

I wanna be in this place forever
Let's make it last, we've got to save it
I wanna be in this place forever
Let's make it last, we've got to save it

I wanna be in this place forever
Let's make it last, we've got to save it
I wanna be in this place forever
Let's make it last, we've got to save it
