The opener to Chris Bottone’s first EP, this song shows him expressing a will to slow down, savor the time he has left. During the latter half of this track, Chris displays the first demo of his later remastered single “Eiem.”
[Front Porch Steps, Verse 1]
Out brief candle
Lickety split
Lovesick losers and rickety whips
And you tried to leave so I said "Let's sit"
'Cause the sunset's comin' and it made me sick
I was making jokes about a day like this
It's true, but, well, you know
Sadism isn't all that fun when all of Salem ends up comin' after you
And you said "Witch hunt"
Witch hunt? I don't wanna fight
I just wanna bop to Sinatra on my porch, alright?
I know that I'm a sap; I'm viscous
I just don't want you to move so fast
[Verse 2]
Look
Division's comin' through
Please don't move so fast
I want the seat upon the front porch steps to last
Wait up, you ain't gotta run now
You're on overdrive
Can't you see the speed limit here?
Twenty-five
[Chorus]
I just
I just wanna slow down
I just wanna slow down
I just wanna slow down
I just wanna slow down
[Interlude]
Wait! Wait, wait, wait wait wait
Hold up hold up hold up, don't
Keep listening, don't stop
Hold on, addendum, additional content
Hello, hi, I'm sorry about that
It's just that I noticed, after I finished this song a few minutes ago
That I had a beat that I made for fun a long time ago
Um, it's kind of crappy, but it uses that same (noises) drone-y synth thing, um, that just ended this song and I think it'd be a great transition so, um. Yeah, I'm gonna use that, so, here it is
[EIEM, Verse]
I want to join you
I'll go grab my charger
I won't deny your
Confidence is larger
I am your brother
We sit and watch me
Are there any others?
Then never mind just leave me be because
[Chorus]
I am, I am
What no one understands
I am, I am
The extra intro extroverted man
I am, I am
What no one understands
I am, I am
[Outro]
Ha ha, hey that wasn't that bad actually
Holy shit
