Slow Me Down
Unveiling Depths: Jessie Ware's Soulful Journey Through Love and Limits
Lyrics
Maybe I ask a little too much
Expressing the possibility of expecting too much.
I can take all of you and still no enough
Despite having all of someone, it may not feel sufficient.
Maybe I'm lost
Feeling directionless or confused.
Maybe I'm weak
Suggesting vulnerability or a lack of strength.
What if I'm not that I though would be
Doubting one's own identity or expectations.
Running in circles I'm running away
Engaging in repetitive or unproductive behavior, avoiding challenges.
You be the ocean and I'll be the wave
Using metaphor: the other person is the stable force, and the singer is the dynamic element.
Baby you slow me down
Acknowledging that the other person has a calming effect.
Baby you slow me down
Reiterating the impact of the other person on slowing down the singer.
And I won't let go forever and more
Expressing commitment and holding on to the relationship.
Baby you slow me down, you slow me down
Repeating the idea of the other person slowing down the singer.
And I'll take it slow if you tell will never stop
Willingness to take things at a slower pace if the other person desires.
Maybe I burn a little too bright
Possibly shining too brightly or being too intense.
Trying give you more of everything
Striving to provide abundance in the relationship.
Darling I would give anything
Expressing a willingness to give everything for the relationship.
And if I jump a little too high
Possibly taking risks or reaching great heights.
Would you tell me please (please) please (please) please?
Seeking reassurance and validation from the other person.
Baby you slow me down
Reaffirming the impact of the other person in slowing down the singer.
Baby you slow me down
Continuing to emphasize the effect of the other person on the singer's pace.
And I won't let go forever and more
Reiterating commitment and an enduring connection.
Baby you slow me down, you slow me down
Stressing the influence of the other person in slowing down the singer.
And I'll take it slow if you tell will never stop
Expressing a readiness to move at a slower pace if the other person desires.
Tell baby do I talk too much
Raising a question about communication habits.
Still feels like we are only growing up
Feeling like the relationship is continuously evolving.
Now we are older (older) going away
Acknowledging the passage of time and growing older.
You said it's like I'm never satisfied
Referring to a perception of dissatisfaction or unfulfillment.
But we can have it all tonight
Believing that they can have everything they desire in the present moment.
Baby you slow me down
Repeating the impact of the other person in slowing down the singer.
Baby you slow me down
Emphasizing the continued influence of the other person on the singer's pace.
And I won't let go forever and more
Reaffirming commitment and an enduring connection.
Baby you slow me down, you slow me down
Reiterating the effect of the other person on slowing down the singer.
And I'll take it slow if you tell will never
Expressing a willingness to take things at a slower pace if desired.
You slow me down
Highlighting the continued impact of the other person in slowing down the singer.
Baby you slow me down
Reiterating the influence of the other person on the singer's pace.
And I won't let go forever and more
Stressing commitment and an enduring connection.
Baby you slow me down, you slow me down
Repeating the idea of the other person slowing down the singer.
And I'll take it slow if you tell will never stop
Expressing a readiness to move at a slower pace if the other person desires.
