Settle for a slowdown, by Dierks Bentley

I must look just like a fool here
in the middle of the road

I suppose I must look terrible, heck obsessed is word you might use, maybe even crazy.


standing there in your rearview
and getting soaked to the bone

"Cole I can't believe you! Your expecting me to just, forgive you. You became the source of all evil for crying out loud!" Screamed Phoebe.

"I'm sorry." Said Cole simply, apparently it wasn't enough. Because Phoebe stomped off into the house, her manor, not their penthouse. He would go back to their penthouse. If he was a poet he might say that represented their relationship. He couldn't let go, and went back to what it was before him, sorta.


this land is flat as it is mean
a man can see for a hundred miles
So I'm still praying I might see
the glow of a brake light.

Cole knew beneath the anger was a lot of pain, sure he had caused it, but he could heal it. She was just pretending. But did she have to pretend so hard? He could see the divorce papers on her desk. The last chance he had with her would go away as soon as they signed them.

But your wheels just turn,
down the road ahead
If it hurts at all
you aint showed it yet
I keep a lookin' for
the slightest sign that you might miss
what you left behind
I know there's nothing stopping you now
but I'd settle for a slowdown.

"Sign here Mr. Turner." said the attorney. Hell, He was an attorney. But did you see him talking to Phoebe with out a stinging red mark on his face. Noooooo. He signed, he couldn't believe it. It was a nightmare. Any moment now it would turn good and Phoebe would kiss him over and over saying just how sorry she was. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't a dream, and Phoebe signed right next to him. The only time they would willingly be together again.

I held on longer than I should
Believing you might change your mind
And those bright lights of Hollywood
would fade in time.

Ithought what I did would fade into a faraway memory. It didn't. I am till the source in your eyes. Just like in mine, you are the beautiful and happy woman I fell in love with. I should have realized it earlier. Maybe if I stopped pursuing you, you might heal and come back. Or perhaps I should prove myself to you.

But your wheels just turn
down the road ahead
If it hurts at all
you aint showed it yet
I keep a lookin' for
the slightest sign
that you might miss
what you left behind
I know there's nothing stopping you now
but I'd settle for a slowdown.

I was wrong. You were happy to be rid of me. You laughed, you didn't cry. You got yourself a boyfriend. Undeserving of you in my book. But, heck, I'm your ex husband. Might as well get used to the ex part.


But your wheels just turn
down the road ahead
if it hurts at all
you aint showed it yet
your just a tiny dot on that horizon line come on tap those brakes
baby just one time
I know there's nothing stopping you now
Im not asking you to turn back around

I just wish you hadn't got used to it so quickly

I'd settle for a slowdown
come on just slow down
I'd settle for a slow down.
