"Slow Down" lyrics

Everyone around us seems to be in such a hurry
Chasing down the next thing with their shoulders full of worry
But I've been watching you tonight and I don't want to rush it
I want to take in every detail, every laugh, every minute

The way you tilt your head when something catches you off guard
The way you hold your glass and talk like everything's a work of art
I've been moving fast for years and missing all of this
And I don't want to miss a single ordinary bliss

Can we slow down, just a little while
I want to take you in, every look, every smile
The world can wait outside tonight
Baby let's just slow down

We could stay here in this corner of the evening undisturbed
Let the clock do what it wants and leave us to our quiet words
I'm not ready for the moment when the night decides it's over
So let's stay a little longer, let's stay a little closer

You said you had to be somewhere by ten but it's already quarter past
And neither one of us has moved because we both know this goes fast
So let's pretend the night is long and we have nothing else to do
Let's pretend the whole world stopped and left some time for me and you

Stay right here in this light
Don't let go, hold me tight
Nothing else matters right now
Baby let's just slow down

Minutes turning into something I don't want to name
If I slow down long enough maybe you'll feel the same
Don't need the future figured out, don't need to know the end
Just need this moment, just need you, just need this to not end

Can we slow down, breathe it in a while
Stay right here with me, every look, every smile
The world can wait, the night is ours right now
Baby let's just slow down
Don't let go, slow down
