[Chorus]
Oh I want you now
So please don't let me down
Oh just shut your mouth
And know that you are everything to me
Can we just let go
Of what we can't control
And if the world should spin too fast
I'll slow it down for you

[Verse 1]
I still remember you
The dizzy dance with me and you
We lived our lives without a clue
And never tried to find the meaning
Those days weren't meant to last
And I can't ache for what is past
Cause I know what it means to be
So close that I could see inside of you
Oh my friend, nothing ever ends
Just look around
'Cause this is right where you and I belong

[Chorus]
Oh I want you now
So please don't let me down
Oh just shut your mouth
And know that you are everything to me
Can we just let go
Of what we can't control
And if the world should spin too fast
I'll slow it down for you

[Verse 2]
You know I loved a girl
Who said that I could change the world
If only I was brave enough
To live the life in front of me
And these memories are fading fast
They're scattered like a broken glass
Will they be mended
Or as easily just swept away
Oh my friend this is not the end
Just look around
'Cause this is right where you and i belong

[Chorus]
Oh I want you now
So please don't let me down
Oh just shut your mouth
And know that you are everything to me
Can we just let go
Of what we can't control
And if the world should spin too fast
I'll slow it down for you

[Bridge]
Falling from this height
Just might break your life
Take a chance for me
The only way you see, and
Twist your hand into mine
Don't you leave this behind
If we're losing time
I'll slow it down for you

[Chorus]
Oh I want you now
So please don't let me down
Oh just shut your mouth
And know that you are everything to me
Can we just let go
Of what we can't control
And if the world should spin too fast
I'll slow it down for you

[Outro]
I'll slow it down for you
I'll slow it down for you
Oh, I want you now
So please don't let me down
And if the world should spin too fast
I'll slow it down for you
Summer love and winter rain
You know they always fade away
But in the end you know
You and I still remain

The Goo Goo Dolls

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
