slow me down
Aberfeldy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm an open book
That you can take a look
There's nothing I have found
Could slow my yo-yo down

Don't you slow me down
I could be seeing stars
I could be behind bars
I could be in the ground
So don't you slow me down
Don't ever slow me down

I know the sky is blue
And I'll fall for you
I know the world is round
Don't ever slow me down

Don't slow me down, slow me down
Don't slow me down, slow me down

The way you smile at me
The way you let it be
The way you never frown
The way you slow me down
Don't you slow me down

Don't slow me down, slow me down
Don't slow me down, slow me down

Cause there's a side of me
That you could never see
That no one's ever found
Don't ever slow me down

I know the sky is blue, and I'll fall for you
I know the world is round
Don't ever slow me down

Don't show me nothing's what it seems
Can't throw my arms around a dream
Yeah yeah

There's a side of me
That you will never see
That no one's ever found
Don't ever slow me down

We got a world to win
We'll get it back again
I cannot mess around




Don't ever slow me down
Don't ever slow me down
