Slow
Halsey & Lido Lyrics

Why you drive so fast?
Why are you rushing through life without taking the time to enjoy the journey?

Girl, where you gotta go?
Why are you always in such a hurry to get somewhere?

Baby you should try and drive slow
You should take the time to slow down and appreciate the present moment.

Cause you're goin' 45 on a 15
You're moving too quickly, trying to achieve things that are beyond your current capabilities or resources.

I'm just tryna stay alive on the big screen
I'm just trying to survive and make a name for myself in the competitive world of entertainment.

When you comin' up the drive
When you approach success or new opportunities.

All the kids scream i don't know
Even though I'm gaining fame, I still feel unsure about my future and the impact I have on others.

Baby girl you movin' onto better things
You're progressing and moving towards a more fulfilling future.

I don't have the time
I am occupied with my own pursuits and don't have the capacity to invest in a real relationship.

I'm just tryna get mine
I'm solely focused on achieving my personal goals and ambitions.

He's at it again, he's at
The same pattern of behavior continues to repeat itself.

It again, it happened, my friend
I once again find myself in a situation where my actions have consequences.

I had to pretend cause I'm only
I had to pretend because I'm just passing through this city temporarily.

In this city for a minute
I'm not invested in a long-term commitment or relationship.

And I know you've been tryin' to get in it
I'm aware that you want to be a part of my life and have a deeper connection with me.

And I'm with it but
I understand your desire, but my focus is elsewhere.

You looking like you fell in love tonight
Your emotions are making you look like you're falling in love, even if it's just for this moment.

For Pete's sake, homie, pull it together
Please, for your own sake, gather your emotions and think rationally.

We hooked up one time it
We had a casual sexual encounter once, and it didn't carry much significance for me.

Was kind of whatever but
It didn't really have any lasting impact or meaning to me.

Would you believe me if I said I was drunk?
I'm suggesting that my actions were influenced by alcohol, hoping it excuses my behavior.

Maybe I want you to want me but only tonight
Perhaps I desire your temporary affection and validation, but I don't want anything more than that.

Usually you don't be used to me usin' you
Normally, you wouldn't expect me to take advantage of or manipulate you.

You saw the truth in me, this
You saw the real me, the parts that I try to hide from others.

Is all new to you, damn
It's overwhelming for you because you're not accustomed to seeing this side of me.

Well this is love in the fast lane
Our relationship is moving at a rapid pace, fueled by intensity and impulsiveness.

New Benz, top down with the back stained
I'm flaunting material possessions and indulging in reckless behavior, symbolized by the luxury car and stained backseat.

I was tryna give you Js and some fast brain
I was attempting to impress you with expensive gifts and quick intimate encounters.

You were tryna give me Ks and your last name
You wanted to offer me commitment and marriage, while I was more focused on short-term enjoyment.

Boy I think I should leave
I believe it's best for me to end this relationship and move on.

Cause there's a flaw in the system
Our relationship has an inherent flaw or imbalance.

I don't really know why but I miss him
I can't explain it, but I still have feelings for him despite the issues.

It was somethin' in his eyes
There was a certain spark or connection in his gaze.

When I kissed him
I felt something special when I kissed him.

Listen, feeling like I can't dismiss him
I'm struggling to ignore or let go of my attachment to him.

For Pete's sake, homie pull it together
I'm urging you to gather your emotions and think logically.

Cause you've got a girl and
You're already in a committed relationship with someone else.

She thinks it's forever
Your current partner believes that your relationship will last indefinitely.

I know she'd love you if you'd only let her
I'm aware that your girlfriend genuinely cares for you, if only you would allow her to.

Cause I'm a mistake and we
Because I acknowledge that my involvement with you is an error.

Both could do better
Both of us deserve better partners and relationships.
