Moving Too Slow

A song about whether or not to do something you’re uncomfortable with…

Moving Too Slow:

Oooooooooh…am I moving too slow for you
cause I don’t want to do this one thing that you want me to?
Oooooooooh…if I want to get close to you
I might have to change my mind and let myself go, too.

Well you tell me to move faster but I can’t understand.
We’re already moving so much faster than
I’ve ever gone before.
No, I don’t regularly engage in this sort of a thing
already seeing stars and now my ears start to ring
as I’m crawling on the floor.

It don’t really matter how fast I move
I have a hard time just keeping up with you.
But baby how much faster can we possibly go
before one of us finally loses control?
This kind of love could be the death of you.

Oooooooooh…am I moving too slow for you
cause I don’t want to do this one thing that you want me to?
Oooooooooh…babe, I want to get close to you
I might have to change my mind and let myself go, too.

It’s plain to see that my heart’s bleeding but still
I know that you’re going to keep pleading until
your face is turning blue.
Putting that kind of pressure on you know it ain’t fair
Tiny little devils on my shoulders and they’re
telling me what to do.

But it don’t really matter how fast I move
I’m killing myself just trying to keep up with you.
Baby, maybe I just don’t want to press my luck
or maybe I’m afraid that I’ll like it too much.
This kind of love could be the death of you.

Oooooooooh…am I moving too slow for you
cause I don’t want to do the one thing that you want me to?
Oooooooooh…if I want to get close to you
I might have to change my mind and let myself go, too.

Well you tell me to move faster but I can’t understand.
We’re already moving so much faster than
I’ve ever gone before…
