All-American Rejects, The - Fast And Slow Lyrics






If only for tonight.
Yeah I could dig myself a grave,
But even 6 feet down I know
I'll be found feeling this way.
If only I could find
Yeah just a reason to believe,
That there's nothing that's up your sleeve
Even though you're wearing that tank top.
Love me or leave me but just not behind.
We don't need money the way we spend time
'Cause if it's real tonight, you and I could really do something.

[Chorus]
You go fast. I'll go slow
Meet you in the middle just to let you know.
It's gonna be alright, (it's gonna be alright)
If it's me and you tonight (If it's me and you tonight).
You go fast, I go slow
Light my fuse and your body explodes.
It's going to be alright (It's gonna be alright)
Are you ready now? I'm ready now.

If only I were bright (if only I were bright)
Then I could let go of my brain
Put a tourniquet on and your sweet injection into my vein
And Oooh, that's the stuff (that's the the stuff you give to me it's like a-)
And I say that you're the drug.
Twelve steps wouldn't be enough to kick your just that rough.
Make me a crazy I just can't define.
There's not a closet for you in my mind
Oh, but you puzzle me tonight.
Let's play with your bits and pieces.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Baby...
Oooh I wanna take my time. (I need you baby...)
If you stay with me once again, once again.
It's a heart attack, heart attack
'Cause I want you so bad. (oh I want you too)
Well I hope (this lasts) for ever (and ever)

You go fast.. I'll go slow

[Chorus]

Are you ready now? [x3]

  3. C.... G....

    I love this band so much...ever since the beginning, great songs old and new equally

  4. R.... P....

    I dedicated that song to my ex gf, she was always "going fast" and "I was going slow" in pretty much everything. We broke up last year, however when I listen to this song I remember her. Good times, if wasn't for a war of egos and lack of honest communication we could still be having great time together.

  5. t.... ....

    Tyson has a small part in the new movie with Jen Garner called Peppermint. I haven't seen him in any coming attractions. Why does he always get so little press?

  6. p.... ....

    Omg that's Matt rubano!! No idea he played with AAR. Loved him in Taking Back Sunday

  7. M.... P....

    These guys are eternally my favorite band, but... I dunno, man, seeing them so different and with some different people (I THINK, I don't recognize the drummer), it hurts XD I miss the good days for them. Nowadays no one really knows them, and it sucks.

    If there was one band on earth I rewind agewise, it would be them. Both so they'd be around even longer, as well as so I could try to woo Tyson XD #noshame

    M.... P....

    This could be heartbreak 💔 yeah you right. Now 2019 and i still listening song of TAAR 😢 miss these guys so much.

    M.... P....

    Same. I feel like no one knows them anymore. I'm a diehard fan from the Bionicle days. 😥

    They're trying to release new stuff but have had tons of legal issues with (((Interscope Records))) since they've gone indie. Go figure.

  8. S.... L....

    On July 7th, AAR will release 2 new songs. One called, "Sweat" has a video that I saw a small bit of, but enough to want to see what happens with Tyson playing both girl and guy parts.

  9. D.... C....

    On July 7th, AAR will release 2 new songs. One has a video that we have seen 35 seconds of. That would be "Sweat" where Tyson stars as both male and female parts. He's a beautiful person. Really a teaser for the album coming soon.

  10. V.... B....

    en dónde le doy me encorazona a esta canción ❤

  11. t.... ....

    Happy Birthday to Tyson. He's 33 today. He's been working on films lately. One is called, The Sweet Life which is another small part.

    t.... ....

    I liked "Miss You Already". He had a bigger part than I thought. Waiting to hear some new music coming soon.

    t.... ....

    It's 2018 and Tyson has several new movies coming and a TV show he will be on. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves. He is good at anything he wants to do.

  12. t.... ....

    Still loving this. I liked Scotty and Matt that were on tour with AAR in 2012. Scotty was on the last tour too.

  13. C.... C....

    I love this song, but I listened to it non stop during my exams so now it just reminds me of that miserable time and it makes me low-key kinda stressed every time I hear it

  14. C.... C....

    great song

  15. F.... ....

    Damn, they have come so far when it comes to live performances <3

  16. D.... D....

    Love this song from the first time i heard it, Im almost scared to even say that,lol im a hillbilly from West Virginia raised on country and love Southern rock, Hey i like what i like and these Guys are good, Im looking for a song by them right now that they sang on Guitar Center Session a few years ago to add it to my play list, but cant remember the name but it was more of a slow meaningful song about life and death, cant even remember a lyric, Anybody got a hint of what it might be,, The Name of it maybe,,lol

    D.... D....

    I think this was on that show. It might be "Kids In The Street" or "Gives You Hell".

    D.... D....

    It will probably have been "move along"

  17. B.... ....

  18. S.... L....

  66. S.... M....

    neon trees

  67. T.... U....

    they're one of those bands that sound just as good live, and thats really hard to find now days, now most bands have so much auto tuning done that they sound like crap live.

  68. R.... A....

    1:35 we've been rick rolled.

  76. m.... ....

    bassist looks like zacky vengeance

  77. K.... N....

    The harmonies and backup vocals are terrific! It sounds like almost all the other band members have great voices too

  78. m.... ....

    seriously, this version really is awesome

  79. N.... G....

    it's a pity.. i hope this is not alternative rock.. sorry for who knows top of th world and move along(etc.)

  80. S.... B....

    where's his cool haircut? :'O

  81. a.... ....

    I love how he actually sounds the way he does in the actual song!:D unlike some other artists/bands that have their voices edited

  82. W.... ....

    Love them since their first self-titled album! Too damn amazing. But one thing that kinda got be thinking was the other dude singing the woman part... BRILLIANT!

  83. C.... ....

    This song is ridiculous. In a good way.

  84. C.... ....

    yes he did.. He doesn't play on stage so that he can show-boat. He always plays his bass for album recordings

  85. e.... s....

    he never realy does anymore, he didnt play bass for the recording of when the world comes down

  86. C.... ....

    The percussionist is wearing a party hat , well done

  87. D.... C....

    This is still my favorite from the latest, but the rest of the songs are in second place. Love hearing it done live. They are the best group ever!

  88. -.... a....

    This song gives me a Neon Trees vibe...

  89. c.... l....

    this song is ammmazing

  90. C.... R....

    The Keyboard player looks like Mason Musso. Except with really freaking big hair.

  91. N.... L....

    Fast & Slow by The All-American Rejects is fun.

  92. s.... a....

    you the gay one here.........

  93. t.... ....

    Yeah, I was wondering why he's not playing it too... Why is that really?

  94. A.... P....

    Tyson ritter = what I wish one day I could be. Since 2007

  95. f.... ....

    seriously? judging people's sexuality by the way they dress?? honestly i'm ashamed of the world we live in....

  96. O.... ....

    What's the kind of mic he's using with the whole zebra thing going on?

  97. J.... H....

    @ederihm He plays bass on tour with AAR, but Tyson still plays bass while recording.
