Go Slow | Kaskade, Gorgon City, Romeo

Ok. This is is it. My absolutely favorite song on this album.

I mean Kaskade and Gorgon City?! And Romeo?!

I’m fucking done. Done.

But even beyond that, this is just one of those tracks I love. Because this is one of those tracks that takes a quiet corner of your life, and turns it into a dance floor anthem.

Let's fall slowly, love
Let's not fall apart
'Cause I've done this before
And I know, I know

I’m the queen of moving slow when it comes to relationships. And I mean S-L-O-W.

Like molasses

In January.

This is just relationships though. Crushes? Instantly. Falling in “love”? At the drop of a hat. Hooking up? I might not even wait to find out your last name…or first.

But with the real shit, I take my time.

I can’t count the number of times people have said

“So have you done anything yet?”

or

“What are you waiting for?”

And I don't wanna live life blind to the bruises
I just wanna make sure that you're prepared
And I don't wanna fuss or fight 'cause it's useless
Nothing ever felt this right, but I'm scared

Some people would say it was out of fear. Fear of so much shit that I didn’t even realize it was fear. And some ways they were right. Abso-fucking-lutely right. And I paid some good money in therapy to work that shit out.

But there’s a whole other side of it that I feel like few people see. The delicious side of going slow.

Go slow, we should take it slow
You got me thinking, should I let it show?
Go, go, we should let it go
Admit we're falling, can't help but let it show

The things is the those slow moments are so sweet - because you don’t get them back. you only get them one.

You only get that first look once.

You only get that first touch once.

That first kiss. Then that first sober kiss.

You only get one time to meet on the dance floor.

You only get one time slowly start dancing with each other.

You only get one time to stay up late talking and hear “well, you can sleep here if you want.”

We should let it show
We should let it show
We should let it show
We should let it show

So, I’ll let people keep asking me “what are you waiting for?”

And I’ll just smile.

And play this song.
