Lyrics[edit | edit source]

When the shutter clicks on the superstar

And he leaves you with the camera

A picture's worth the moment

You both needed something more

Slow down boy, he's breaking your heart

His innocence will tear you apart

His love is young, you don't have to hurry

You've got all the time in the world

No rules when we play the game

Put the winner with the loser

He's stalling at the gate

And you're racing towards the line

Slow down boy, he's breaking your heart

His innocence will tear you apart

His love is young, you don't have to hurry

You've got all the time in the world

I've watched you from the back seat

Crying as he walked away

I see beauty in the future

Lay back and let him blow you away

When you're dancing with disaster

And living on the edge

Let the moment be your master

Don't get so far ahead

You might also like

Slow down boy, he's breaking your heart

His innocence will tear you apart

His love is young, you don't have to hurry

You've got all the time in the world

Slow down boy, slow down

Let him show you

Let him blow you away...
