Story Behind The Song

Beats are a dime a dozen. We wanted to write a real song that grooves and describes real life.

Song Description

We live in a culture of distraction and people worshiping at the altar of sex and celebrity. Relationships are refracted through that prism in our songs, and part of that involves a necessary rushing, a speeding up of the process. Love takes time, commitment, and patience. There's never a need to rush into anything you're not ready for. For the lovers trying to go slow.

Lyrics

we can take our time if we want to
we don't have to go fast
if you want to
and we're patient
we can make love last
and if you open up the door
my heart couldn't ask
for more

baby i was in front of you in line when i caught your eyes
what a nice surprise
on an otherwise ordinary Friday afternoon
honey i can still see that dress that you wore that day
and if i said that i wanted you when i first met you
it woulda been too soon
and you never know where we would have ended up
cause baby
there's no need to rush

we can take our time if we want to
we don't have to go fast
if you want to
and we're patient
we can make love last
and if you open up the door
my heart couldn't ask
for more

and if i'm gonna be real with you
i'm gonna let you know
there's no stop and go with me
i'm gonna need you giving me love and affection 24/7 no emotional misdirection
and if we take the time
to know how the other feels baby
we might find ourselves a lifetime
of love

we can take our time if we want to
we don't have to go fast
if you want to
and we're patient
we can make love last
and if you open up the door
my heart couldn't ask
for more

i'll be the lover that you never had
no more no more
no more love to make you sad
like the others do
all we gotta do is take it slow
slow
slow
slow

we can take our time if we want to
we don't have to go fast
if you want to
and we're patient
we can make love last
and if you open up the door
my heart couldn't ask
for more
