slow me down
Tazio and Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well it's too soon, it's too much for me to ignore
I never tried to run 'cause I thought I wanted more
I hate to ell you this, please don't walk right out the door
My mind's on cloud nine, but my heart fell through the floor
I'm tellin' you
Slow down- I gotta get used to this somehow
Slow down- You say the 'L' word, I have to frown
Slow down- And let me make up my mind now
And now I'm lost, I think my fear is warranted
because I know you're gonna break my heart again
so this time I won't let you crawl inside my head
because losing love is the one thing that I dread
I'm tellin' you
Slow down- I gotta get used to this somehow
Slow down- I've spent so long in lonesome town
Slow down- You say the 'L' word, I have to frown
Slow down- And let me make up my mind now
[Bridge]
Slow down- I gotta get used to this somehow
Slow down- I've spent so long in lonesome town
Slow down- You say the 'L' word, I have to frown
Slow down- And let me make up my mind now
The lyrics of "Slow Me Down" by Tazio and Boy speak about the fear of getting too attached too soon in a relationship. The person confesses that even though their mind is cloud nine, their heart has fallen through the floor. They are overwhelmed by the intensity of their emotions and want things to slow down so they can catch up. The lyrics reflect their apprehension about the future of the relationship and being vulnerable again. They are afraid of being hurt because they have experienced heartbreak before. Hence, they ask their partner to slow down and let them catch up so they can fully understand their emotions.
The line "Slow down - You say the 'L' word, I have to frown" speaks about the complexity of love. Although they have strong feelings for their partner, they are scared of voicing them out loud.

They ask their partner to hold back and let them make up their mind about what they truly feel. In the bridge, the lyrics are repeated, emphasizing the need for a slower pace, which gives the person time to understand what they want from their relationship.
