Moving Too Fast
Fishbowl/Supafly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give it a chance
We can love again

In my crazy world
I gave you everything you wanted, babe
You said you loved me
I said I loved you too
Even in the craziest times
When we fault, we made love
I held you closely
You opened up your heart to me

Time after time we dealt with it
This time I know we'll see it through
You'll always be the one for me
Baby girl, I'm feeling you
Time after time we dealt with it
This time I know we'll see it through
You'll always be the one for me
Baby girl, I'm feeling you

Ooo, ooo we're moving too fast
Trying to get through
Like walking on broken glass
Just shoo and move
Is all the things of the past
Give it a chance
We can love again

We can work it out
We can work it out

Don't be hasty, girl
'Cause when I'm gone, you'll miss me
Don't try to push me
'Cause you are my baby boo
Tell me what I've done
To make you feel uneasy
'Cause I'm falling for you
I raise my hand; I'm guilty

Time after time we dealt with it
This time I know we'll see it through
You'll always be the one for me
Baby girl, I'm feeling you

Ooo, ooo we're moving too fast
Trying to get through
Like walking on broken glass
Just shoo and move
Is all the things of the past
Give it a chance
We can love again

We can work it out
We can work it out
Give it a chance

No matter what you say
Or what you do
The time has come
For us to see this through
No matter what you say
Or what you do
The time has come
For us to see this through

Ooo, ooo we're moving too fast
Trying to get through
Like walking on broken glass
Just shoo and move
Is all the things of the past
Give it a chance
We can love again

We can work it out
Ooo, ooo we're moving too fast
Trying to get through
Like walking on broken glass
Just shoo and move
Is all the things of the past
Give it a chance
We can love again

We can work it out
We can work it out

Give it a chance
We can love again (love again)
Give it a chance
We can love again (love again)
Give it a chance
We can love again (love again)
Give it a chance
We can love again (love again)
Give it a chance
We can love again (love again)
Give it a chance
We can love again (love again)
Give it a chance
We can love again (love again)
Give it a chance
We can love again (love again)
Give it a chance
We can love again (love again)




Give it a chance
We can love again (love again)
