Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Slow down
Your heart needs to temper
Your heart needs a rest now
You must slow down
To the ground
Yeah, your heart needs to temper

Some times are good
Some times are fine
Let me be yours
Some times are good
Some times are fine
Let me be yours

Slow down
Your heart needs to temper
Your heart needs a rest now
You must slow down
To the ground
Yeah, your heart needs to temper

You may be tomorrow
I won't be this day
You're blessed for this moment
And hope you will say
And maybe tomorrow
And maybe today
Let me shine your love and play

Crazy
Time tonight, you made me crawling
Time tonight, your love made me cry
Time tonight, your love made me shining
Time tonight, your love made me

Slow down
Your heart needs to temper
Your heart needs a rest now
Slow down
To the ground
Yeah, Your heart needs to temper now
Your heart needs to temper
Your heart needs a rest now
You must slow down
To the ground
Yeah, your hearts needs to temper now
Your heart needs to temper
Your heart needs a rest now
You must slow down
To the ground
Yeah, your heart needs to temper now
Your heart needs to temper
Your heart needs a rest now
You must slow down




To the ground
Yeah, your heart needs to temper
