Nice & Slow

[Intro]
Time moves different when you're watching

[Verse 1]
she got stars in her eyes, a sight that I recognize
That little laugh like the sea, the tide pulls me to her side
Tiny hands gripping dreams that are bigger than mine, ain't no lie
I watch her dance through the morning light, a glorious design
My little tornado spinning, wild and bright, she's perfectly defined
​Her crayons color the walls, that's where her castle stands
She builds castles from nothing, out of pure thought and tiny hands
Callin' that her own art, I swear I don't understand
I hear her whisper, "Daddy, I'm not afraid," a confidence I need
The thought of her leaving cuts deep like a blade, a future I can't concede

[Chorus 1]
Oh, my little world, don't ever fade
You're the sun, yeah, you're the shade
If time's a thief, let him pass me by
But don't you take her, no, don't say goodbye
(Yeah, you're the sun, you're the shade)

[Verse 2]
Every step that she takes feels like a mile I gotta run
Every tear that she cries steals the light from my sun
Every tear she cries steals my smile
Every step she takes feels like a mile
Look, I can't hold the tide, I can't control the sky
But I'll hold onto her hand 'til the day I die
​If she ever flies, if she finds her way on that great incline
I'll be the whisper saying, "You're okay, you're more than fine"
I'm just praying that future keeps her pure and well defined

[Chorus 2]
Oh, my little world, don't ever fade
You're the sun, yeah, you're the shade
If time's a thief, let him pass me by
But don't you take her, no, don't say goodbye
(You're the sun, you're the shade)

[Bridge]
She builds castles from nothin', calls it her art
But she's coloring the walls of my heart
I know time is movin', and she's gotta grow
But this kind of love, man, that's all that I know
​Don't let the innocence leave, don't let the magic go
It's just the world I fear, the seeds that it might sow
I can't hold the tide, no, I can't stop the sky
But I'll hold her hand till the day I die

[Outro]
Oh, my little world (my world!), don't ever fade (don't fade!)
You're the sun (the sun!), yeah, you're the shade (the shade!)
If time's a thief, let him pass me by
But don't you take her, no, don't say goodbye!

Don't say goodbye...
Yeah... You're okay.

Leave It All Behind

Consider Me

"I Can't Stop Thinking About You" is a song about finding real love. It was an effortless song for us to write and record. So effortless that we actually questioned its simplicity. Like finishing a test 30 minutes early...we felt like maybe we left the back of a page blank or something. But as we finished up the recording process and looked back at the body of work, we knew we got it right with this one. It just feels good, and sometimes that’s all that matters.
