Ohh-oh, ohh-ohh
Ohh-oh
Oh, I've been lying to myself
And I might know why
I miss the way you looked at me before
You left New York (hey)
'Cause I can't deny
The way that I feel when I'm with you
Oh, I'd do anything to save ya
I think we need a little Californiacation
We took a shot at this but maybe we're too wasted
It's hard to swallow but I know we gotta chase it, oh
Slow down
I think that we just need to slow down, slow down
Turn around
Things were so simple, we were fallin', fallin'
See ya, I wanna see ya, ah
I wish you weren't so far so I could see ya, ah
See the light, I wanna see the
We were comfortable, we didn't understand but now we know
I think we need a little Californiacation
We took a shot at this but maybe we're too wasted
It's hard to swallow but I know we gotta chase it, oh

The lyrics of Why Don't We's "Slow Down" signify a desire for a slowdown in their relationship that is moving too quickly. The singer realizes that they've been lying to themselves and knows that they've missed their partner's presence after they left New York. However, there is still hope for the singer and their partner, and they both need to slow down and take things slower than before. The lyrics, "we took a shot at this, but maybe we're too wasted" suggest that they both rushed into the relationship and weren't fully ready for it. The singer acknowledges the difficulty of chasing their dreams and being vulnerable to their significant other in the line "It's hard to swallow but I know we gotta chase it."
The chorus insists on slowing down to save their relationship, and "turning around" alludes to taking time to evaluate their relationship and reconnect. The bridge signifies a longing for when their relationship was simpler and the two of them were "falling in love." The line "We were comfortable, we didn't understand but now we know" indicates that the singer wasn't fully understanding of their feelings earlier in the relationship. They now know that they need to take time to slow down and try to save what they have.
In summary, "Slow Down" conveys the message that slowing down and taking time in any relationship is essential for it to grow healthily. The song encourages people to take the time to value their partners, their relationship, and make sure that they're going in the right direction.
