## Lyrics
[verse]
My boys keep telling me I'm moving fast
Say a love like this was never built to last
But every time she smiles I lose my nerve
Forget the whole plan, forget the swerve

[verse]
I promised I would take it slow this time
Not rush the reason, not force the rhyme
But she's got a way of turning heads
Making me forget the things I said

[chorus]
Cool it now, cool it now, gotta slow it down
Cool it now, cool it now, before I lose this crown
My heart's ahead of me, running through the town
Cool it now, cool it now, gotta slow it down

[verse]
The fellas laugh and tell me play it right
Don't call her twice, don't stay up half the night
But man, it's hard when she's this close
The rules I made are the ones I broke

[chorus]
Cool it now, cool it now, gotta slow it down
Cool it now, cool it now, before I lose this crown
My heart's ahead of me, running through the town
Cool it now, cool it now, gotta slow it down

[bridge]
Maybe love was never meant to wait
Maybe timing don't decide our fate
I'll take it steady, but I won't pretend
This feeling's got no brakes, no end

[chorus]
Cool it now, cool it now, gotta slow it down
Cool it now, cool it now, before I lose this crown
My heart's ahead of me, running through the town
Cool it now, cool it now, gotta slow it down
