Please Slow Down

I remember when you hid inside

My suitcase the night before my flight

When your laugh gave you away, you cried for me to stay

I will comfort you no matter where you hide

Are you scared of falling down a well?

It's not strange to have a fear you'd never tell

Just remember to be brave, and in the moments you're afraid

It's that fear that lets you know that you're alive

Before you close your eyes to sleep

You should know I plan to keep

Every little part of you, gets the best of me

Please slow down

Time, wait up for me

Tell me what it's like to be in love

Is he more or less the boy you thought he was?

Well, let me tell you this before you lean in for the kiss

He'll be lucky if he gets to know your mind

Before you close your eyes to sleep

You should know I plan to keep

Every little part of you, gets the best of me

Please slow down

Time, wait up for me

When you're old like me, you'll be surprised

At all the little things that make you cry

So be kind to your heart, and when we are apart

Let our love for you go with you as you fly
