Take It Slow
Forever the Sickest Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please try to understand if, I decide
To take it slow.
Will you take me by the hand or find someone who can
Then come crawlin' back, when you're feelin' alone?
Let's take our time
And live our lives.
Don't call me to say "Good night."
Don't think that I'm, not on your side.
We spent the whole year in the same stupid fight.
What did I do, did I do
To do this, to you?
What did I do, did I do
To do this, to you?
You say you never wanted this to end,
But I'm hearing different from your friends.
Hey, if you relax, I'll take a day;
I'll take some time off.
But I never wanted it to be the way
It seems so sad and so misleading.
You're threatening to leave me
And lose everything we had.
Let's take our time
And live our lives.
If you say you're unsure,
Don't call me to say "Good night."
Don't think that I'm, not on your side.
We spent the whole year in the same stupid fight.
What did I do, did I do
To do this, to you?
What did I do, did I do
To do this, to you?
We're seeing differently:
You're losing everything, you had!
You try losing your heart, so fast.
But I'll get over you,
If it's what you wanna do...
What did I do, did I do
To do this, to you?
Let's take our time (Let's take our time)
And live our lives. (And live our lives)
If you say you're unsure,
Don't call me to say "Good night."
Don't think that I'm, (Don't think that I'm)
Not on your side. (Not on your side.)
We spent the whole year in the same stupid fight.
What did I do, did I do
To do this, to you?
What did I do, did I do
To do this, to you?
