Paulson - Slow Down

I learned to breathe underwater when I turned nine
I had to learn how to save myself
I’m still alive

How does it feel to be 20? Or 25?
Well I can hardly remember, I just survive

So when we met I was startled, I finally awoke
Blew out a breath full of water now that I’m not alone
I got a taste of the surface; I can’t let it go
I used to sink but now I float

Slow down, stop rushing this
It feels like nothing else matters now
Love and lust can co-exist, so let’s take our time

You said “The days are getting shorter,” and you were right
‘Cause all the stars were appearing; they multiplied

And so the more we surrendered the farther we fell
It was either you or the moment, or both that I held?
As we descended on each other it got harder to tell,
and now I can’t control myself

Hearts that race and breath that stains
Covers ours to wear
So when we wake up underwater I’ll be here
