Speak Slow Lyrics

you wait up for me
i don't wake up for you
would you like the company or
are you sick of me
when your love lets you go
you only want love more
even when love's
not what you were looking for

speak slow
tell me love
where do we go

you break down and plead your case
i don't know what to say
i leave my heart all this pain
and now i'm at it all again
on these streets
that i leave
for weeks on end
who's to blame
when you want love
doesn't matter what you're looking for

i'm so far away and i just can't see you
i'm so far along and i just don't need you
i am so alone

I love this song, it's the first Tegan and Sara I ever heard but now I've added them to my favorites and will probabley go see them in concert soon. Man, does Canada produce some awesome bands or what?

This song is just about someone not letting their love go and then realizing that they want it back just because.

when your love lets you go you only want love more even when love's not what you were looking for

They probably didn't want love in that relationship but they want the security and comfort OF a relationship. It doesn't matter what they're looking for, they just want what they had back.

this song is awesome. i just saw the music video and its just as awesome. i just love Tegan and Sara, practically every song on "So Jealous is amazing. they have this quirky, different kind of sound that works so well and their songs are so catchy. i'd love to see them in concert!

Despite the very few (and somewhat repetative) chords in this song, it turned out fabulously. I fell in love with Tegan and Sara hearing them on XM radio, but I have yet to hear them on a local station.

"while you're at it why don't you sign me up to sell me out" they're being sarcastic here...

so i think its about someone who sighned them for a record and told them they would be superstars and be famous and all that..and lied to them...?

"when you want love, doesn't matter what you're looking for"
