lyrics

Truth be told, I’m bored these days
No, I won’t - I won’t work today
The thought alone is killing me right now
I won’t, I won’t work
Let me lie in bed all day
I’ll get up eventually
And if you want to call today
Don’t be mad, I won’t answer
I’m better off by myself
Cause I want to sort through the storms
That are raging in my head
In my head, in my bed
I’ll get back to you in time

But for now I’m living slowly
Watering my plants
I’m being selfish, I can’t help it
I’m living slowly
Watching how my plants are growing just like me
I’m living slowly
I’m living slowly
Slowling down the pace, keep up

Mama called and she’s alright
Which is good
Cooking up new recipes
I’ll make you dinner next week
But tonight: dinner for one
Meanwhile you are busy working out
Or reading up on business stuff
Honey, I know that you’re trying to improve
But darling, nobody’s watching except you
You could sort through the storms
That are raging in your head
I’m in my head in my bed
I’ll get back to you in time

But for now I’m living slowly
Watering my plants
I’m being selfish, I can’t help it
I’m living slowly
Watching how my plants are growing just like me
I’m living slowly
I’m living slowly

Getting tired of trying to ride the fast lane constantly
When good things take their time apparently
That’s what grandma used to say
Painting words into my memory just like fingers forming clay
Her pictures beautiful - somewhat dusty
Cause she was old you know
But shining anyways
And I wish I’d known her better
I wish I’d known better
I wish I’d known
Slow down, slow down, slow down

But for now I’m living slowly
Watering my plants
I’m being selfish, I can’t help it
I’m living slowly
Watching how my plants are growing just like me
I’m living slowly
I’m living slowly

"Maybe being soft is what makes us worthy of trust."
With this motto, Joy Bogat heralds a new musical phase - bolder, more headstrong, but still so warm & inviting that everyone* finds their own place in it. Carried by Bogat's clear & extraordinary voice, her music drifts between soul, alternative RnB & indie. Synthesizers & voices, spoken word & grooving beats interweave with a playful lightness. ... more
