[Verse 1]
Clock says 2 in the morning
Your coat still hangs by the door
You’re half asleep on my shoulder
Saying you can’t do this anymore
You trace that crack in the ceiling
Like you’re drawing ways to run
But every time that you stand up
You melt back into my arms
[Chorus]
Slow but steady
We keep falling anyway
Same old edges
But I’m holding where you fray
If your heart is getting heavy
You can lay it right on me
We’re a little bit messy
But we’re moving
Slow but steady
[Verse 2]
You laugh
“we’re bad at goodbyes”
Then you kiss my doubt off my face (mm)
You talk about changing cities
But your keys still live in their place
You leave your mug in the kitchen
Like a promise you’ll be back
You say you’re done for the last time
Then you’re tangled in my lap (oh)
[Chorus]
Slow but steady
We keep falling anyway
Same old edges
But I’m holding where you fray
If your heart is getting heavy
You can lay it right on me
We’re a little bit messy
But we’re moving
Slow but steady
[Bridge]
Every step
Two steps back
Still you end up here like that
Call it wrong
Call it right
You’re the ache I breathe at night (yeah)
[Chorus]
Slow but steady
We keep falling anyway
Same old edges
But I’m holding where you fray
If your heart is getting heavy
You can lay it right on me
We’re a little bit messy
But we’re moving
Slow but steady
