[Verse 1]

Say you want better

You poke fun of holes in my sweater babe

But who did you really expect me to be

I can see through you

I try every way to undo you, boy

Before California takes you from me

[Chorus]

Slow down, slow down

Take it from the beginning

I'm here while you're still around

[Verse 2]

I could keep digging

Provide all the things that you're missing, boy

But why should I worry that I'm not enough

Say you don't like me

Enough to stand up and just fight me, boy

Then we will both know that it's time to give up

If I could just tell you

I've fallen in more than I care to now

It's strange so afraid that I might be in love, oh

[Chorus]

Slow down, slow down

Take it from the beginning

I'm here while you're still around

[Verse 3]

There's no missing piece

No, my other half

I could lose it all

Keep one photograph

Oh, but if you needed me, I'd give you all I have

[Chorus]

Slow down, slow down

Take it from the beginning

I'm here while you're still around

Slow down, slow down

Take it from the beginning now

I'm here while you're still around
