Take It Slow

(album: Good Problems - 2022)

Ain't it strange how two people are strangers
Then one chance encounter and everything changes?
Dunno where to begin, while I'm taking you in
Retracing these shapes on your skin
Like how'd you get those scars? tell me who did your tatts?
Tell me all about your family, is your Mum still with your Dad?
What's the town you grew up in? any brothers and sisters?
Can you tell me some stories? can you show me some pictures?
Let me show you the records that's in my collection
From the hip hop to the funk/soul to the classic rock section
Said I'm full of surprises, well I wanna keep you guessing
Won't tell me bout your favourites, cos I'm open to suggestions, so
Won't ya let me in, show me what's behind that door
Never been here before, please give me the tour
There's no rush so let's not go too far
But I just wanna know who you are, so

Let's take it slow, get to know one another
Who knows what we'll find or just what we'll discover
Let's close up the blinds, get under the covers and
Open up to each other
Let's take it slow, get to know one another
Who knows what we'll find or just what we'll discover
Let's close up the blinds, get under the covers and
Open up to each other

Now we both got our guard up cos we well aware of the dangers
Got both sides tryna barter, so we keep making exchanges
The process of the give and take
Rome wasn't built in a day
The anecdotes that we intimate with a sip of wine and a dinner date, now
As we interact, paths intersect
Palms interlock, hopes intertwine
So innocent, alone in the room
Your innermost, blends into mine
Getting introduced in my best shirt like a candidate in an interview
Think I'm into you, are you into me? Cos there's plenty more fish in the sea if you're not, but

Still you got me intrigued
Thinking I wanna see
See where this thing could lead
And just what we could be
Turn a you and a me, to an us and a we
Wouldn't that there be something to see
But I can see in your face, you're afraid, you've been hurt before
I can see that you're unsure if I got what you're searching for
Tryna learn your charms, all your quirks and your flaws
And I'll show you mine, if you show me yours, but

Let's take it slow, get to know one another
Who knows what we'll find or just what we'll discover
Let's close up the blinds, get under the covers and
Open up to each other
Let's take it slow, get to know one another
Who knows what we'll find or just what we'll discover
Let's close up the blinds, get under the covers and
Open up to each other

Nothing in our way
Only good things gon' come to those who wait
Cos I'm just loving getting to know ya
Got some things I could show ya
We can take our time
Second hand passing, just put your hand in mine
Cos I'm just loving getting to know ya
Got somethings I could show ya
