SPEEDLiMiT

You call, I hang up

(yeah, no thanks…)

See your name flash and I already know what’s up

(here we go…)

Dance with somebody just to mess you up

(watch this…)

Very next day I’m pretendin’ we’re back in love

(surprise…)

You say “slow down,” baby, that’s too much

(relax…)

You get attached while I only get a rush

mm-hm…

Break your heart twice, then say I’m bluffin’

(oh please…)

But you come runnin’ back like I’m somethin’

knew you would…

Pre-Chorus

You say I’m reckless—

(laughs: oh really?)

Baby, I know

(yeah, I know…)

I break your heart then I let you get close

come here…

You try to keep up but you move too slow

too slow—too slow—

I spin you ‘round just to watch you lose control

(break: whoops.)

(whisper: didn’t mean to… kinda did.)

Chorus

Boy, you hit my heart like you don’t see the speed limit

(no brakes…)

Runnin’ through my mind and you never put a brake in it

keep goin’…

Crashin’ into love like you know you’re gon’ finish it

right there…

But darling, I’m the road — and you barely got a grip on it

hold tight…

You keep comin’ back like you’re stuck in a tailspin

again?…

Say you want my love, but you only wanna race it

faster…

Baby, I’m the track — and you never could win it

nice try…

Try to play it safe… but you’re way past the speed limit

way past it…

Verse 2

I moved on with someone else, yeah someone else

don’t get jealous…

But he don’t give me even half the way you felt

you knew that…

Still in his bed but I’m thinking of you

oops…

Tryna fake love but it never hits true

never does…

Got his hands on my waist but it don’t compare

not even close…

Your ghost shows up every time he’s there

hi again…

So I knock on your door right around two

open up…

Bet your heart stops ’cause you know what I’ll do

you know me…

Bridge

Red lights flashin’, your hands still shakin’

steady…

Heartbeats crashin’, you swear you’re changin’

you’re not…

But I know you — you break what you’re chasin’

every time…

Every promise you make ends up misplacin’

there it goes…

And I’m done slowin’ down for the mess you make

clean it up…

You want all of me, but you show up late

too late…

So floor it, babe — watch the whole thing break

boom…

’Cause love like yours? Comes with no damn brakes

none…

Final Chorus

Boy, you hit my heart like you don’t see the speed limit

no brakes…

Runnin’ through my mind and you never put a brake in it

speed up…

Crashin’ into love like you know you’re gon’ finish it

finish it…

But darling, I’m the road — and you barely got a grip on it

hold on tight…

You keep comin’ back like you’re stuck in a tailspin

spin out…

Say you want my love, but you only wanna race it

race it…

Baby, I’m the track — and you never could win it

not a chance…

Try to play it safe… but you’re way past the speed limit

way, way past it…
