Slow It Down
The Suffers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know it seems like we've been waiting for a while now
'Cause you've been loving me for a while now
At times it seems like it will never come
But it will all be worth it when it's said and done

Slow it Down
Just let it go now baby
Slow it Down

There's no need to rush tonight
No need to rush tonight

I know you've been so anxious
Cause you want me
But baby slow it down
Because you got me
Just know that we are on our way
But all I need to know is that you're here to stay

Slow it Down
Slow it down
Just let it go now baby
Slow it down no need to rush
Slow it down
Just let it got now ah

My heart is calling for you

This heart is calling for you
Don't you hear? Don't you hear it baby?
