Can we take it slow
Like we did back in high school
Like my body's
The first you ever touched
Can we take it slow
Like we did in our basements
Clothes on lights out
Breathing on the rug
Can we take it slow
Like we did back in high school
Let the wings flutter
Let the heart pump
Once upon a time
Romance was alive
We didn't have rules
So we carved new grooves
No expectations
All exploration
What you give is welcome
What you don't, forgot
Now love is flustered
All rushed and cluttered
Grabbing what's familiar
We are all too eager
I just met you
Don't want to kiss you
Let's make our own rules
Treat me like I'm new
Can we take it slow
Like we did back in high school
Like my body's
The first you ever touched
Can we take it slow
Like we did in our basements
Clothes on lights out
Breathing on the rug
Can we take it slow
Like we did back in high school
Let the wings flutter
Let the heart pump
Now it's like we're all afraid
What's under getting laid
I'll take my layers off
But my skin is tough
Feeling like a puppet
Eat it grab it suck it
Let's try something new
Let me look at you
Take our layers in
Eyes and breath and skin
One finger at a time
There is no finish line
We can be more than bodies
More than getting lucky
More than always rushing
Just look at me
Can we take it slow
Like we did back in high school
Like my body's
The first you ever touched
Can we take it slow
Like we did in our basements
Clothes on lights out
Breathing on the rug
Can we take it slow
Like we did back in high school
Let the wings flutter
Let the heart pump
