Start Over Slow

(Verse 1)

You got questions in your silence, I can feel it when you look my way

That quiet kind of curiosity, like there’s something you still wanna say

We been through the fire, let it bend us, almost let it break us down

But even in the distance, I still feel you here right now

You moved like you don’t notice, but I notice every glance you send

Like you’re tracing back the story, wondering how it all could’ve been

(Pre-Chorus)

And I don’t rush your heart, I don’t force the door

But I’d be lying if I said I don’t want us anymore

(Chorus)

If you’re thinking ‘bout starting over, I’m still here, I’m still the same

Still got love that didn’t vanish even after all the pain

But we don’t gotta jump in like we did the first time we tried

We can take it slow, rebuild it right, step by step this time

If you’re curious, I am too… about what we could be

And if you choose to come back, I’ll meet you gently

(Verse 2)

I see you holding back words like they heavy on your tongue

Like you’re scared of what gets said once the damage is undone

But I ain’t here to repeat the past, I ain’t here to play the role

I just want something real this time, something steady for our souls

You don’t gotta decide today, I can live inside the wait

Love don’t always mean collision, sometimes it learns to demonstrate

(Pre-Chorus)

So take your time, no pressure, no chase

I’d rather earn you slow than win you in haste

(Chorus)

If you’re thinking ‘bout starting over, I’m still here, I’m still the same

Still got love that didn’t vanish even after all the pain

But we don’t gotta jump in like we did the first time we tried

We can take it slow, rebuild it right, step by step this time

If you’re curious, I am too… about what we could be

And if you choose to come back, I’ll meet you gently

(Bridge)

No rewinding, just rewriting

No pretending, no denying

If we do this, we do it honest

No shortcuts, just us and promise

(Outro)

So if your heart starts leaning back my way

Just know I’m not running, I’m staying the same

Still loving you… but letting it grow

If we start again, we start it slow
