​slower Lyrics by Tate McRae

TOO YOUNG TO BE SAD

2021

[Verse 1]
Playing cool makes me lose my mind
I can't be someone I don't recognize
I'm not the type to have to say it twice
Or wait for you 'til the end of the night

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been falling fast and you don't seem to move
But is it worse for me if I tell the truth?
And are you just a poison that I shouldn't use?
Wish I could say to you
What I can't say to you

[Chorus]
We could take it slower
Wait until we're older
But I might be somebody
You might not even know her
I'm going through changes
It's a rollercoaster
But I might be somebody
You might not even know her
We could take it slower

[Post-Chorus]
We could take it slower

[Verse 2]
Who knows who I'll be tomorrow?
But I hope that you still like her the same
We might end up strangers somehow
You should get to know me today

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been falling fast and you don't seem to move
But is it worse for me if I tell the truth?
And are you just a poison that I shouldn't use?
Wish I could say to you
What I can't say to you

[Chorus]
We could take it slower
Wait until we're older
But I might be somebody
You might not even know her
I'm going through changes
It's a rollercoaster
But I might be somebody
You might not even know her
We could take it slower

[Post-Chorus]
We could take it slower

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been falling fast and you don't seem to move
But is it worse for me if I tell the truth?
And are you just a poison that I shouldn't use?
Wish I could say to you
What I can't say to you

[Chorus]
We could take it slower
Wait until we're older
But I might be somebody
You might not even know her
I'm going through changes
It's a rollercoaster
But I might be somebody
You might not even know her
We could take it slower
We could take it slower
