Slow Down
Chasing Lost Connections
Lyrics
(Hey)
Expression to grab attention or initiate interaction.
Ohh-oh, ohh-ohh
Vocal sounds, no distinct meaning.
Ohh-oh
Continuation of vocal sounds.
Oh, I've been lying to myself
The speaker has been deceiving themselves.
And I might know why
They have a possible understanding of the reason behind their self-deception.
I miss the way you looked at me before
They miss the way someone looked at them before departing from New York.
You left New York (hey)
Reference to the departure of the person from New York.
I've been tryin' to find help
The speaker is seeking help.
'Cause I can't deny
They cannot deny their emotions.
The way that I feel when I'm with you
Their emotions intensify when they are with the person.
Oh, I'd do anything to save ya
The speaker is willing to do anything to rescue or protect the person.
I think we need a little Californiacation
Suggests a need for a change akin to the carefree California lifestyle.
We took a shot at this but maybe we're too wasted
They attempted something, but it might have been a failure due to intoxication or impairment.
It's hard to swallow but I know we gotta chase it, oh
Accepting a harsh reality but acknowledging the necessity to pursue it.
Slow down
Advocates for a slower pace or pause in the situation.
I think that we just need to slow down, slow down
Reiteration of the need to slow down.
Turn around
Suggests a change in direction or perspective.
Things were so simple, we were fallin', fallin'
Reflecting on the simplicity of past experiences while falling in love.
See ya, I wanna see ya, ah
Expresses a desire to see the person.
I wish you weren't so far so I could see ya, ah
Expressing the distance as an obstacle to seeing the person.
See the light, I wanna see the
Wishing to witness positive aspects or clarity in the situation.
We were comfortable, we didn't understand but now we know
Realization that they were once content but lacked understanding, and now they do.
I think we need a little Californiacation

We took a shot at this but maybe we're too wasted

Reflecting on the simplicity of past experiences while falling in love (repeated).
