‘Let me down slow’, the fourth track on the EP, tells the story of a relationship that’s heading South, yet the girl appears hesitant to break it off, while the guy asks to be let down slowly as to not hurt him.
[Spoken Intro: Blake]
We need to see everyone that's sat down out of their seats and you've got to go crazy. Can you do that London?
Alright, this one's called "Let Me Down Slow"
[Verse 1: Blake]
Heaven knows we're out of luck (woo)
Been on the point of giving up (hey!)
If all is fair in war and love
Then why do we fight? (why do we fight?)
Something ain't right (something ain't right)
[Pre-Chorus: Blake]
‘Cause we don’t really talk about life no more (hey!)
I'm just here my own tryna laugh it off (tryna laugh it off)
When the night comes crawling I'm holding on
For something to change, tension to break
It's about time (hey!)
[Chorus: Reece]
What are you hiding?
'Cause I got the right to know (woo)
There's something different in the way you look
What are you fighting?
If you're gonna let me go (London are you ready to jump?)
It's gonna hurt so choose your words (jump, jump!)
[Post-Chorus: All]
Baby, let me down slow (let me down, let me down)
Baby, let me down slow (baby, let me down slow)
Baby, let me down slow (let me down, let me down)
Baby, let me down (let me hear you!)
[Verse 3: George, Blake]
Who's misguided, who's to blame? (woo)
The first to have the final say?
If love is just a wicked game
Why do we play? (why do we play?)
Why do we play? (why do we play?)
[Pre-Chorus: Blake]
And it hurts seeing you tryna put me off (put me off)
Tryna make me be the one to break it off (break it off)
When the night comes crawling, I'm holding on
For something to change, tension to break
It's about time, let's go!
[Chorus: Reece]
What are you hiding?
'Cause I got the right to know (woo)
There's something different in the way you look
What are you fighting?
If you're gonna let me go (London are you going to jump?)
It's gonna hurt so choose your words (jump, jump!)
[Post-Chorus: All]
Baby, let me down slow (let me down, let me down)
Baby, let me down slow (baby, let me down slow)
Baby, let me down slow (let me down, let me down)
Baby, let me down (hey)
[Chorus: All]
What are you hiding?
'Cause I got the right to know (woo)
There's something different in the way you look
What are you fighting?
If you're gonna let me go (this time, every single one of you jump)
It's gonna hurt so choose your words (jump!)
[Post-Chorus/Outro]
Baby, let me down slow (let me down, let me down)
Baby, let me down slow (baby, let me down slow)
Baby, let me down slow (let me down, let me down)
Baby, let me down
Baby, let me down slow (let me down, let me down)
