Lyrics
Intro
You talk fast, I move slow
You lean in, I lean back
Read me wrong every time
I don’t react like that
You want sparks, I want calm
You want all in one night
I let silence respond
That’s how I keep it right
Pre-Hook
You keep trying to figure me out
But I’m not giving all of me now
Hook
If I let you closer
It’s on my time
Not when you want it
But when it feels right
No need to chase me
I’m not that far
Just gotta know me
Before you go hard
If I move toward you
Don’t break the pace
Some things last longer
When they breathe in space
Verse 2
I don’t play by the rush
I don’t fall for the pull
You read signs in my eyes
But you’re reading them full
Every step got a line
Every line got a reason
I don’t give what is mine
Till I trust what I’m seeing
Pre-Hook
You keep trying to hurry the sound
But I don’t like love turned loud
Hook
If I let you closer
It’s on my time
Not when you want it
But when it feels right
No need to chase me
I’m not that far
Just gotta know me
Before you go hard
If I move toward you
Don’t break the pace
Some things last longer
When they breathe in space
Bridge
Maybe we stay right here
Halfway between unsure
Maybe that’s why it’s clear
What we’re waiting for
No pressure in my hands
No promises to prove
If you can understand
Then we might move
Final Hook
If I let you closer
It’s on my time
Not when you want it
But when it feels right
Take it easy
Don’t cross the line
Some things are better
When they take their time
Outro
(whispered ad-libs)
Slow down…
You’ll get there
Maybe
