Slow
M.I Abaga Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you hear it?
Can you feel it?
Can you see the ice is melting?
Will you listen?
Will it sway you?
Why can't I see you movin'?

No it ain't right
How the sunlight
Haven't made the white doves take flight
This our time
Make it right now
Before the sun will drown us

Living in a summer haze
Counting freckles on our earth
Divin' in a sea of slow emotions

Feel the space between your lips
Trust the dolphins when they sing
'Bout the moment of our slow emotions

Slow emotions
Slow emotions
Slow emotions

Hey imagine
What will happen
If we keep on movin' faster
Will it end well
Can we smile still
If nothing ever changes

Is it perfect
If we leave it
And we let our dreams deceive us
Are we too late
What's the next base
Don't dare to dream no longer

Living in a summer haze
Counting freckles on our earth
Divin' an a sea of slow emotions

Feel the space between your lips
Trust the dolphins when they sing
'Bout the moment of our slow emotions

Slow emotions
Slow emotions
Slow emotions

Living in a summer haze
Counting freckles on our earth
Divin' an a sea of slow emotions

Feel the space between your lips
Trust the dolphins when they sing
'Bout the moment of our slow emotions

Slow emotions
