[Verse 1]
You left your blue coat on my kitchen chair
A little rain still darkened up the sleeve
I watched you laugh at nothing in particular
And felt the room become a place to breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
I have run from every open door
Called it wisdom, called it being sure
But your hand found mine beneath the table
And I don't want to lose what we are able
[Chorus]
If this is love, then let it take its time
Let it be the steady kind, not the wildfire kind
I will learn the shape of your changing heart
Meet you in the middle when the hard days start
For once, I know what I am fighting for
You are the one worth holding on to
[Verse 2]
We missed the last train home from Riverside
Bought two coffees from a closing store
You tucked your cold fingers inside my coat
And I forgot what I was rushing for
[Pre-Chorus]
There will be weeks we barely sleep
Words we wish we could unsay and keep
Still, I see the promise in the trying
A little faith is better than goodbye-ing
[Chorus]
If this is love, then let it take its time
Let it be the steady kind, not the wildfire kind
I will learn the shape of your changing heart
Meet you in the middle when the hard days start
For once, I know what I am fighting for
You are the one worth holding on to
[Bridge]
When the years put silver in your hair
When the map changes and the room feels bare
If you reach for me, I will reach back too
Not because it's easy, because it's you
[Final Chorus]
If this is love, then let it take its time
Let it be the steady kind, the truest kind
I will learn the shape of your changing heart
Meet you in the middle when the hard days start
Whatever waits beyond that open door
You are the one worth holding on to
You are the one worth holding on to
[Outro]
Your blue coat resting on my kitchen chair
And suddenly, I'm glad you're there
