Slow Down
Maverick Sabre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Had a feeling that you'd call me to say you're sorry
Instead you just said it's my mistake
Are you waging up a war for the sake of something to say?
When am I not to blame?
And what you got to say about me?
I don't know you very well if you're acting like someone else
And what you got to say about us
Don't you see this all leads to games, you should start trusting me

Slow down, won't you come around?
Slow down, won't you come around to my ways?
(I've been tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around?
(Tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around to my place?

Well, I wish I could say sorry but I don't have much to say
You won't believe me anyway (Anyway)
I got a thing for causin' arguments
But in my defense, I'm scared you'll walk away
And what I'm tryna say about me
I don't know me very well if I'm actin' like someone else
And what you got to say about us
Don't you see that I'm here to stay, you should start trustin' me (Trustin' me)

Slow down, won't you come around?
Slow down, won't you come around to my ways?
(I've been tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around?
(I've been tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around to my place?
(I've been tryin' not to let you go)

Slow down, won't you come around?
Slow down, won't you come around to my ways?

You don't know me, like I wish you would
You don't know me, like I know you could
I don't want to be misunderstood, oh
'Cause I don't think you know

(I've been tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around?
(I've been tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around to my ways?
(I've been tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around?
(I've been tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around to my place?
(I've been tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around?
Slow down, won't you come around to my ways?
(I've been tryin' not to let you go)
Slow down, won't you come around?
Slow down, won't you come around to my place?

I've been tryin' not to let you go (Slow down)
But I'm fighting on my own (Slow down)
Ain't no one else like you, I know
That's like this
I've been tryin' not to let you go (Won't you come around?)
But I'm fighting on my own (Slow down, slow down)
Ain't no one else like you, I know




(Slow don't, won't you come around to my ways?)

Overall Meaning

The song "Slow Down" by Jorja Smith is a tale of two people who are struggling to understand each other. The lyrics begin by expressing the singer's expectation that the other person will apologize for something they did, only to be disappointed when the person says it was the singer's mistake. The singer wonders if the other person is trying to start a fight just to have something to say, and feels like they are always blamed for everything. However, they also admit that they don't know the other person well when they act differently than their true self, and want the other person to trust them. The chorus's request to "slow down" and come around to the singer's ways is an invitation to take things slowly, communicate honestly, and build a stronger connection.


The second verse sees the other person admitting that they don't have much to say, acknowledging their tendency to argue and fear of being left alone. They emphasize that they want the singer to trust them too and are willing to stay committed. The bridge reveals that both parties feel misunderstood and want to be known more deeply by the other. The final chorus repeats the request to slow down and come around, with the addition of the singer fighting on their own to keep the relationship alive.


Line by Line Meaning

Had a feeling that you'd call me to say you're sorry
I anticipated an apology from you in the phone call you made, but you didn't apologize


Instead you just said it's my mistake
You blamed me for the situation instead of acknowledging your own fault


Are you waging up a war for the sake of something to say?
Are you just starting an argument to fill the silence?


When am I not to blame?
When is it not my fault in your eyes?


And what you got to say about me?
What opinion do you have of me?


I don't know you very well if you're acting like someone else
If you're not being yourself, I don't know who you truly are


And what you got to say about us
What's your perspective on our relationship?


Don't you see this all leads to games, you should start trusting me
Our constant arguing is childish, we need to start trusting each other more


Slow down, won't you come around?
Take a step back and come back to my side


Well, I wish I could say sorry but I don't have much to say
I want to apologize, but I don't know how to express it


You won't believe me anyway
You won't trust me or accept my apology


I got a thing for causin' arguments
I tend to start arguments or disagreements


But in my defense, I'm scared you'll walk away
I'll argue to try and keep you close to me, but I'm afraid you'll leave


I don't know me very well if I'm actin' like someone else
If I'm not being true to myself, I'm not sure who I really am


Don't you see that I'm here to stay, you should start trustin' me
I'm committed to this relationship and you should trust me more


You don't know me, like I wish you would
I feel like you don't truly understand me


You don't know me, like I know you could
I believe you could understand me better than you currently do


I don't want to be misunderstood, oh
I don't want you to misinterpret my actions or words


'Cause I don't think you know
I don't think you fully understand me or the situation


I've been tryin' not to let you go
I've been struggling to keep you in my life


But I'm fighting on my own
I'm struggling with my feelings and thoughts without your help or support


Ain't no one else like you, I know
I don't know anyone else like you


That's like this
Whom I feel this way about


Won't you come around?
Please come back to me

[Verse 1: Maverick Sabre]
Had a feeling that you'd call me to say you're sorry
Instead you just said it's my mistake
Are you raging up a war for the sake of something to say
When am I not to blame
And what you got to say about me
I don't know you very well if you're acting like someone else
And what you got to say about us
Don't you see this all leads to games, you should start trusting me

[Chorus: Both]
Slow down, won't you come around
Slow down, won't you come around to my ways
Slow down, won't you come around
Slow down, won't you come around to my place

[Verse 2: Jorja Smith]
Well I wish I could say sorry but I don't have much to say
You won't believe me anyway
I got a thing for causing arguments
But in my defense, I'm scared to walk away
And what I'm trying to say about me
I don't know me very well if I'm acting like someone else
And what you got to say about us
Don't you see that I'm here to stay, you should start trusting me

[Chorus: Both]
Slow down, won't you come around
Slow down, won't you come around to my ways
Slow down, won't you come around
Slow down, won't you come around to my place

(Slow down, won't you come around)
(Slow down, won't you come around to my ways)

[Verse 3: Jorja Smith]
You don't know me
Like I wish you would
You don't know me
Like I know you could
I don't want to be misunderstood
Cause I don't think you know

[Chorus: Both]
Slow down, won't you come around
Slow down, won't you come around to my ways
Slow down, won't you come around
Slow down, won't you come around to my place

Slow down, won't you come around
Slow down, won't you come around to my ways
Slow down, won't you come around
Slow down, won't you come around to my place

Slow down, slow down...
Slow down, slow down...

[Saber Maverick]
Tive a sensação de que você me ligaria para dizer que está arrependido
Em vez disso, você acabou de dizer que é meu erro
Você está travando uma guerra por causa de algo para dizer?
Quando não devo culpar?
E o que você tem a dizer sobre mim?
Eu não te conheço muito bem se você está agindo como outra pessoa
E o que você tem a dizer sobre nós
Você não vê isso tudo leva a jogos, você deve começar a confiar em mim

[Maverick Saber & Jorja Smith]
Devagar, você não virá por aí?
Desacelere, você não virá ao meu jeito?
(Eu tenho tentado não deixar você ir)
Devagar, você não virá por aí?
(Tentando não deixar você ir)
Devagar, você não virá ao meu lugar?

[Jorja Smith]
Bem, eu gostaria de poder pedir desculpas, mas não tenho muito a dizer
Você não vai acreditar em mim mesmo (De qualquer forma)
Eu tenho uma coisa por causa de argumentos
Mas em minha defesa, estou com medo de você ir embora
E o que estou tentando dizer sobre mim
Eu não me conheço muito bem se estou agindo como outra pessoa
E o que você tem a dizer sobre nós
Você não vê que eu estou aqui para ficar, você deveria começar a confiar em mim (confiando em mim)

[Maverick Saber & Jorja Smith]
Devagar, você não virá por aí?
Desacelere, você não virá ao meu jeito?
(Eu tenho tentado não deixar você ir)
Devagar, você não virá por aí?
(Eu tenho tentado não deixar você ir)
Devagar, você não virá ao meu lugar?
(Eu tenho tentado não deixar você ir)

[Saber Maverick]
Devagar, você não virá por aí?
Desacelere, você não virá ao meu jeito?

[Jorja Smith]
Você não me conhece, como eu gostaria que você soubesse
Você não me conhece, como eu sei que você poderia
Eu não quero ser mal entendido, oh
Porque eu não acho que você saiba

[Maverick Saber & Jorja Smith]
(Eu tenho tentado não deixar você ir)
Devagar, você não virá por aí?
(Eu tenho tentado não deixar você ir)
Desacelere, você não virá ao meu jeito?
(Eu tenho tentado não deixar você ir)
Devagar, você não virá por aí?
(Eu tenho tentado não deixar você ir)
Devagar, você não virá ao meu lugar?
(Eu tenho tentado não deixar você ir)
Devagar, você não virá por aí?
Desacelere, você não virá ao meu jeito?
(Eu tenho tentado não deixar você ir)
Devagar, você não virá por aí?
Devagar, você não virá ao meu lugar?

Eu tenho tentado não deixar você ir (diminuir a velocidade)
Mas eu estou lutando sozinho (desacelere)
Não há mais ninguém como você, eu sei
É assim
Eu tenho tentado não deixar você ir (você não vai aparecer?)
Mas eu estou lutando sozinho (desacelere, desacelere)
Não há mais ninguém como você, eu sei
É assim
Lento não, você não virá ao meu jeito?
