lyrics
Poison my ivy,
Killing all my leaves.
Hold me so tightly,
Take a bite of me.
Bring me to my knees,
Crippling my feet.
Show me you're lovely,
Then take it right from me.
Can we just slow down?
Can I just slow down?
Heavyweight soldier,
Lightly lay your head on my shoulder.
Heart's a rock solid boulder,
That's what I told her.
But my phrase was met with teeth,
Mashed into pieces.
The truth will surface quick,
And slowly sink deep.
Can we just slow down?
Can you just slow down?
Can we just slow down?
Can we just slow down?
So much better when we take our time.
Killing all my leaves.
Hold me so tightly,
Take a bite of me.
Bring me to my knees,
Crippling my feet.
Show me you're lovely,
Then take it right from me.
Can we just slow down?
Can I just slow down?
Heavyweight soldier,
Lightly lay your head on my shoulder.
Heart's a rock solid boulder,
That's what I told her.
But my phrase was met with teeth,
Mashed into pieces.
The truth will surface quick,
And slowly sink deep.
Can we just slow down?
Can you just slow down?
Can we just slow down?
Can we just slow down?
So much better when we take our time.
