I saw you wave goodbye and play it off as so romantic   I thought it cute, and couldn't help it as my   Strength inside, failed to ward off your advances      And now I'm,   I'm caught up in politics and lies   As entertainers we try and sing this same song every night   I'm tired of trying to treat you like   You ever mattered enough for me to put this kind of time   Or any time at all, I swear      Slow down...   Just enough to   Fake this...   Cause there's way too much riding   On an educated guess   I couldn't live without   Just calm down...   Enough to get me through this   And lay back...   So I can really get a chance tonight   To play out the process while lost in the moment   Where I know this is right      With my arms around you   I'm trying to tune out everything that anyone has said   But who can forget the past   That's so ripe with lies and deceit that   I'm stuck debating to ask you   "With all you've done,   Do you remember how it feels to be in love?"      Even though the stakes were high   The prize I won, well, just wasn't that fantastic   It's left me bruised and wondering how and why I'm   Living the politicians life   Where it's more important to save my image than to save my soul      I guess that's how I survived    And oh, there's a certain part of me that knows they're right   And I hope you know, that I know   But until I care too much I'll just      Slow down...   Just enough to   Fake this...   Cause there's way too much riding   On an educated guess   I couldn't live without   Just calm down...   Enough to get me through this   And lay back...   So I can really get a chance tonight   To play out the process while lost in the moment   Where I know this is right      I tried my best to make an offer   You tried your best to meet my demands   But you won't come close and I won't calm down   Your track record has made this personal   Still everything I said I loved      You don't hear me though...      Slow down...   Just enough to   Fake this...   Cause there's way too much riding   On an educated guess   I couldn't live without   Just calm down...   Enough to get me through this   And lay back...   So I can really get a chance tonight   To play out the process while lost in the moment   Where I know this is right      With my arms around you   I'm trying my best to get these words   And feeling off my chest   And still I'm saving the best for last   We lied down to do what we do best   And throw caution into the wind   Cause what's done is done   "Can you remember how it feels?"      If one night can make me feel like this   I swear I'd take it back if I could take it back   There's so much that I wish I could have asked   Before you let me down and before I let you...      There's only one thing I know I have to ask you,   and that's "do you go through what I am going through?"
