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 moment 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 go with you as you fly
