Tempo

Pulling back on the covers
Back in love before I recover
Put on my best face and wonder
What it's gon' take to prove
What you want me to do
What you want me to say
What do I see in you
Or are we both changing
Slaves to infatuation, baby
It's honestly too soon to tell
We're just two young minds connected under spell
It's just too much front we have to ride it out
And I know you want so much more
I could say the same myself
But we can't let this fall away
I'm gonna take my time, I'll stand in line
To make you mine it's worth the wait
Passion's such a raging flame
I swear I want more please just take my tempo

I wonder if time has rhythm
(Predictable in a way)
I wait for the night I know
(I know)
And I won't let it slip away
(Cuz all I do is wait)
Turning moments into tempo
(To tempo)

Slow it down, slow it down, slow it down girl
We got all this time like we in limbo
You've been saying I ain't quite your tempo
We've been moving faster than the speed of light
I ain't gonna fight with you but this time
Penny for my thoughts, how about a dime
Do you think that I committed a crime?
Maybe we should go for another drive
I said if we slow it down it wouldn't be so crazy
All the shit you've been saying got me thinking lately
All the possible reasons you've been acting so shady
You've been fooling around all day
If you think we're running out we'll make some time
I promise you my love that we'll be alright
But if I catch you sneaking out again another night
Then I guess you'll be seeing me hanging around skid row

I think I'll make (I'll make) some time to stay
Or maybe take some time away
You've got my head spinning around and around
Like broken clocks going out of control
My gears are spiraling out of my body
I need to be set at the right tempo
Or I'll be a clock without a
Without a craftsman

Time moves faster every year
How do I slow it down?
Slow it down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, da-ooh
Slow it down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, da-ooh
Slow it down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, da-ooh
