Slow Down

You know, all of the loves of my life in the past
I loved and I lost and I moved onto the next so fast
But now I'm in the space of mind
And I've been practicing taking my time

Time to slow down
I know what I feel but I know right now
I shouldn't say it, tryna slow down
Slow down
I've been in my feelings, every breath I take is thought out
Rushing to start crushing, now I'm blushing at the thought that
You could be somebody to me, but first I gotta slow down
Slow down
Time to slow down

I know what I want to say, and I could take a second to say it to you
But you're not like the others, we don't kiss in secret, hover from the truth
But now I'm tryna get in your head, boy, I could fit, leave all their texts on read
I know I shouldn't but I feel too much already, and I fall too hard
Unsteady pace of heart, feeling plenty, emotionally heavy, but I've been attempting to take my time with those with potential to make me fall in love
I know you might have it, can I call you babe?
No, I shouldn't say, shouldn't stay

You've been in my mind and I'm fine with it
I'm so used to dudes who would have liked it
If I did so much to please, they were addicted to me
Like a drug, I kept taking up, I've never been tryna get with someone who wasn't desperate
And it's cool, I know you, you're funny, and you're pretty and lovely too
But I don't know you enough, but I wanna start

Tempted to fall but I'm still standing up so
