Slow Emotion
Gemini Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd swallow everything
Hook, line and sinker
You thought an opening like yours
With overwhelming force would open doors
I've been around too long to burn my fingers
You're coming on so strong
You see, it cuts no ice with me
But we've got time working for us
I am a taurus
I may rise to the bait if you're ready to wait

Slow emotion
It takes me a while
I'll catch up with you
If you wait a little longer
Slow emotion
I'm taking my time
I'm slow at the start
But the feeling's growing stronger
You started talking
And you made the first move
I was stunned, completely overrun
Don't jump the gun

You moved in with a will
No hesitaion
All eyes and dressed to kill
Your prey would not have much to say
You'd have your way
Off to a flying start, the ball was rolling
You thought you had my heart
and yes, you managed to impress
You said: "We're birds of a feather"
I said: "This is no race"
So let me set the pace

Slow emotion
It takes me a while
I'll catch up with you
If you wait a little longer
Slow emotion
I'm taking my time
I'm slow at the start
But the feeling's growing stronger
You started talking
And you made the first move
I was stunned, completely overrun
Don't jump the gun
Don't jump the gun...

Are you ready to wait?

Slow emotion
It takes me a while
I'll catch up with you
If you wait a little longer
Slow emotion
I'm taking my time
I'm slow at the start
But the feeling's growing stronger
You started talking
And you made the first move
I was stunned, completely overrun




Don't jump the gun
Don't jump the gun...
