Lyrics
When you never let go of something right
Expressing the difficulty of letting go of something valuable.
This is how it must feel to take your time
Describing the sensation of taking one's time.
Can't imagine how you just keep inside
Unable to comprehend how one keeps emotions hidden.
Girl, this is how you slip n' slide
Referring to the experience of slipping and sliding, possibly metaphorical.
When you never let go of something right
Repetition of the idea of holding onto something significant.
This is how it must feel to take your time
Reiteration of the feeling of taking one's time.
Can't imagine how you just keep inside
Continuation of the inability to understand the internal emotions.
Girl, this is how you slip n'
Completion of the idea of slipping and sliding.
Slip, slip, slip, slip, whoa
Repetition emphasizing the slipping and sliding experience.
Slip, slip, slip, slip, whoa
-Slip, slip, slip, slip, slip n' slide
-Girl, this is how you slip n'
-Slip, slip, slip, slip, whoa
Further repetition, reinforcing the concept of slipping and sliding.
Slip, slip, slip, slip, whoa
-Slip, slip, slip, slip, slip n' slide
-Girl, this is how you slip n'
-Girl, you know just why we slip n' slide
Recognition of the shared understanding of slipping and sliding.
I can see that ocean in your eyes, eyes
Observation of depth in the person's eyes, possibly denoting emotional complexity.
Thought that I was more than just your type
Initial belief in being more compatible than reality.
But lately, we've been sneakin' little lies
Recent discovery of hidden truths or deceit in the relationship.
Girl, this is how we slip n' slide
Reiteration of the slipping and sliding experience in the context of the relationship.
When you never let go of something right
