Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm happy that we met
Don't think that I'm not interested
I'm just playing hard to get
So much about this crazy game they call love
That I'm trying to understand
So could you be my best friend
Why can't I love you in slow motion
Take my time
Take away the pressure on my mind
Really get to know you
But rewind
Wanna love you in slow motion
Why can't I?
You seem to know just what you want
And I like your confidence
Some things a girl should never rush
'Cause if you do you hurt yourself
So much about this crazy game they call love
That I'm trying to understand
So could you be my best friend
Before you call yourself my man
Why can't I love you in slow motion
Take my time
Take away the pressure on my mind
Really get to know you
But rewind
Wanna love you in slow motion
Why can't I?
I'm too young for tears in the night
And it's to soon for this to be right
Don't wanna mess with your pride
The question's not when but why
Why can't I love you in slow motion
Take my time
Take away the pressure on my mind
Really get to know you
But rewind
Wanna love you in slow motion
Why can't I?
