Slow It Down
Sophie Croucier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think its a test, oh I think its a test
To see out of them all who will be the first one to fall madly in love
Oh madly in love
Cause you see, you see, the thing about me
Is that it's not that easy to push you away
When you're pulling me closer every single day
Just a little bit too much, I think we're losing touch on reality
Oh you and me
Uh oh, I think it's true, that I might be falling for you
Just a little bit too hard, so lets go back to the start
Before we let ourselves fall apart
Slow it down, slow it down, slow it down
Slow it down, slow it down, slow it down
Slow it down, oh right now
The pressure, the tension, between me and you
Of how bad we want each other but don't know what to do
The attraction, the action, we think we should take
Careful what you wish for, don't let it be a mistake
I'll be patient and wait for the right time to make you be mine
I screwed it up once before, I can't do that anymore
Uh oh, I think its true that I might be liking you
Just a little bit too much, I think we're losing touch on reality
Oh you and me
Uh oh, I think it's true that I might be falling for you
Just a little bit too hard, so lets go back to the start
Before we let ourselves fall apart
Slow it down, slow it down, slow it down
Slow it down, slow it down, slow it down
Slow it down, oh right now
Slow it down, right now, oh right now
Thinking it's all just a sign of affection
When really we're running in the wrong direction
Slow it down, slow the pace
Look at me face to face
See eye to eye on just this
We're only holding it together with a kiss
Thought it'd be okay
Until it came to this day
Uh oh, I think its true, that I might be liking you
just a little bit too much, I think we're losing touch on reality
Oh you and me
Uh oh, I think it's true that I might be falling for you
just a little bit too hard, so lets go back to the start
Before we let ourselves fall apart
Slow it down, slow it down, slow it down
Slow it down, slow it down, slow it down
Slow it down, oh right now
Slow it down, right now, oh right now
