Take Things Slow
Thought I was over you
Thought we were done
Seemed like it was over
Away like a prodigal son
But now here we are
In standing before you
Both of us single now, and
I don't know what to do
Your mom seems to think
We'd make a good couple
My parents think it would
Only be double the trouble
Heart beating like a drum
Wishing that dream was real
Where your sweet lips on mine
Was the only thing I could feel
Others say it isn't right at all
I could have whatever I want
Well, what I want is only you
Without a second thought
So, coincidence or fate?
We were written in the stars?
Are we destructive together, or
Born to walk down wedding halls
I don't know, I'm so confused
But one thing I do understand
Even if you shatter my heart
All I want is to take your hand
Might be the biggest mistake
Or the triumph of my life
A match made in heaven
Or hearts twisted with a knife
So baby, make your way to me
Can we give this mess a go?
We can let our hearts beat fast
While we take things slow
