Lyrics

I’d nev er met you, but I want ed to in vite you to the par ty.

Then you walked in with those green eyes, nev er sto len by no bod y, and they flick er to the fu ture for a mo ment I could pic ture.

Then you touch me and I come back, and we’re talk ing on the stair case ’bout your big dreams on the big screens.

Out of Geor gia, now you’re lone ly in this cit y, ly ing with me.

And you’re scared it’s mov ing quick ly.

Oh, now you’re cry ing, you’re in piec es, ’cause the on ly love you’ve ev er known is Je sus.

I can feel it.

Oh, I hate that I’m the rea son that you’re (F)in your head right (Db)now,

while your (F)world is spin ning (Db)out.

So, (Db)slow it down, take a mo ment now.

We’re too (Ab)young to drown

deep in dirt y wa ters full of (Db)hope less doubt.

Let me pull you out.

Let me (Ab)hold you now.

Let me slow it down.

Ain’t it fun ny how it chang es, how the fu ture re ar rang es?

I get nerv ous, oh, I’m anx ious.

May be lov ing you is dan ger ous.

I could lose you like the oth ers.

On ly girl that’s nev er left me is my moth er.

Oh, I love her.

And I know you’ll prob ’bly hate it, but I’m (F)in my head right (Db)now.

So,

(Slow it (Db)Slow it down when you’re (Bb)on the ground and you’re (Ab)cry ing.

I’m try ing

to (Db)slow it down when you’re (Bb)spin ning ’round in your (Ab)head.

(F)Ooh.

I’ll (F)help you slow

it (Db)down.
