Peace Before Passion

Don't rush me to the fire, let me find my ground
I wanna feel the silence before the sweetest sound
If you can't hold my mind, you can't touch my skin
If you don't bring me calm, you can't pull me in

Love without peace just burns too fast
I want something that was made to last
Mmm..., slow down, baby, Let me feel safe first
If you can't keep my mind, You can't keep my body

I need peace before passion, calm before heat
Hold my soul before you lay in my sheets
If your heart's not steady, boy, don't make a move
I need peace before passion, that's my truth

Let's pour the wine slow, talk 'til the night is gone
Let me trust the vibe before I let you turn it on
Show me you can stay when the mood ain't wild
'Cause love's not a race, it's a long, slow mile

Love without peace just burns too fast
I want something that was made to last
Mmm..., slow down, baby, Let me feel safe first
If you can't keep my mind, You can't keep my body

I need peace before passion, calm before heat
Hold my soul before you lay in my sheets
If your heart's not steady, boy, don't make a move
I need peace before passion, that's my truth

Touch me in a way that makes me feel safe
Talk to me in a way that slows my pace
If you can't handle the still, you can't feel the flame
I'll walk away before I play that game
[Chorus - Extended]
I need peace before passion, calm before heat (calm before heat)
Hold my soul before you lay in my sheets (lay in my sheets)
If your heart's not steady, boy, don't make a move
I need peace before passion, that's my truth
