[Verse 1]
Male:
You don't have to rush this
Keys still shaking in your hand
Every little flinch says
You don't really trust the ground
Female:
I've memorized your footsteps
Every heavy
Haunted sigh
We can take the long way
We can stop a thousand times
[Pre-Chorus]
Male:
If you wanna turn back
We can turn back
Female:
If you wanna sit
I’ll sit right here
Both:
Every tiny step is still a step
We're allowed to be unclear
[Chorus]
Both:
We can be slow
We can be scared
We can be broken and still repair
I'll hold the space
Till the hurt grows thin
I want you to feel
Safe again
Safe again
Safe again
[Verse 2]
Female:
You keep saying “I'm too much”
Then you fade into the wall
But your trembling confession
Is the bravest thing of all
Male:
I won't ask for sunshine
While you're standing in the rain
I can be the shelter
Till you recognize your name
[Pre-Chorus]
Female:
If you need to vanish
I won't chase you
Male:
If you need to scream
I'll take the sound
Both:
Every fragile truth you hand me now
I will guard it like the ground
[Chorus]
Both:
We can be slow
We can be scared
We can be broken and still repair
I'll hold the space
Till the hurt grows thin
I want you to feel
Safe again
Safe again
Safe again
[Bridge]
Male:
Every crack
Every scar
I am learning where you are
Female:
Every doubt
Every shake
I am staying when you break
Both:
When the worst words echo loud
I will answer
“You're allowed”
[Chorus]
Both:
We can be slow
We can be scared
We can be broken and still repair
I'll hold the space
Till the hurt grows thin
I want you to feel
Safe again
(yeah, safe again)
Safe again
[Outro]
Female:
Take your time
I'm staying
Male:
Every breath
I'm staying
Both:
Till your heartbeat
Trusts my name again
Safe again
