Lyrics

We Don’t Have To Take It Slow

I promise that there's nothing wrong
When I get quiet, I'm feeling shy
Just let me sit with you
I promise that it's not your fault
Oh, when we fight, it's so much more
I'm sleeping by your side

I promise that it's all okay
When you've been crying, I'll suck the tears
The rock salt from your eyes
I let you cut the legs right off
Of every chair, I glue them back
So, you could sit somewhere

We don't have to keep control
We don't have to take it slow
Take it slow

Honestly, I'm sick of making
Promises I'll never keep
I'd rather be alone
Muscle through the loneliness
Of feeling so familiar
Guess I'll make it my home

We don't have to keep control
We don't have to take it slow
We don't have to keep control
We don't have to take it slow
Take it slow
