Slow

You move like time’s on layaway, slow like midnight talks

I’m tryna catch the pieces when you leave the light on, lost

Text read twice, my thumbs get shaky, feelings on replay

You say you need your space, I say I’ll wait — but not today, nah

Pre-Chorus

I been burnin’ out, but I’m learnin’ how to glow again

You the match and I’m the matchbox — freakin’ out when you go then

Say the word and I’ll stop chasin’, but I can’t stop this hurt

Everything’s in slow motion when you walk away from me, baby

Chorus

Slow down, slow down, don’t leave me on the curb

Slow down, slow down, don’t let our story blur

You take your time like nobody else, I take it hard and fast

Baby move a little slower, wanna make this last

Verse 2

I been countin’ cigarette butts and all my broken calls

Mirror showin’ late nights, I’m the ghost inside these halls

Fame don’t fill the silence when your heartbeat’s not on mine

I trade the stage for guilty thoughts, rewind you one more time

Pre-Chorus

I been tryna breathe but yeah, you pull the air away

You the weather I can’t change, storm stayin’ every day

Say you love me but then vanish, leave me lookin’ dumb

Everything’s in slow mo when the damage has begun

Chorus

Slow down, slow down, don’t leave me on the curb

Slow down, slow down, don’t let our story blur

You take your time like nobody else, I take it hard and fast

Baby move a little slower, wanna make this last

Bridge (half-sung, half-spoken)

Don’t gotta rush the light, we got nights to kill the silence

I’ll hold the flame steady if you promise no more violence

Of the heart against the world — yeah we both been scarred and learned

Tell me you ain’t runnin’ yet, don’t let this love get burned

Breakdown

Slow like a film, slow like a prayer

Slow like the truth when I catch you stare

Slow like the way that you broke me once before

Slow like the knockin’ on my bedroom door

Chorus — Final

Slow down, slow down, don’t leave me on the curb

Slow down, slow down, don’t let our story blur

You take your time like nobody else, I take it hard and fast

Baby move a little slower, wanna make this last

Outro (soft)

Yeah, move slow, baby, don’t rush the parts that hurt

We got time to heal these scars, time to turn the world

I’ll wait while you breathe, while you learn to stay

Come back slow, come back home — don’t fade away, okay?
