"Slow Down Fast" lyrics

We were riding with the windows down July heat in a four-door heartbeat
You laughed at something on the radio, leaned back and kicked up your feet
I swear time was running laps around us, undoing over time, dripping gold on your hair
You said "I don't want to rush a good thing"
I swear time hung in the air

Yeah, moments like that
You don't get them back
You just hold them close and pray the day lasts

Slow down fast
Baby, let's make this minute take a couple laps
I'mma circle around and I'mma double back
I ain't thinking 'bout nothing but that
Cause we got a spark, let it burn slow
Like the sunset drowning as the lights get low
Let's turn this moment into something that lasts and slow down fast

You answered down my arm real gentle
Like you were feeling out the words you couldn't say
I was trying to play it cool, but you knew me
My heart be talking louder than I ever could anyway
We pulled over by the river near Franklin
Skipped stones, made wishes, made nothing make sense
You said "feels like we're living too much - too soon"
Now we're trying to figure out where the time went

Yeah, nights like this, they burn too quick
Let's stretch them out a little bit

Slow down fast
Baby, let's make this minute take a couple laps
I'mma circle around and I'mma double back
I ain't thinking 'bout nothing but that
Cause we got a spark, let it burn slow
Like the sunset drowning as the lights get low
Let's turn this moment into something that lasts and slow down fast

We ain't gotta call it love tonight
We ain't gotta limit what it feels like
But if you're falling, I'm falling right back
Let's both take our time with that

Slow down fast
Baby, let's make this minute take a couple laps
I'mma circle around and I'mma double back
I ain't thinking 'bout nothing but that
Cause we got a spark, let it burn slow
Like the sunset drowning as the lights get low
Let's turn this moment into something that lasts and slow down fast
