[Verse 1]
You trace my scars like constellations
Say every mark looks like a win
You laugh at all my calculations
Turn every doubt to oxygen
[Pre-Chorus]
You take your time
You take your time
Like we got years just standing by
You say "I see you
Every side"
How do you read me that quiet
That right?
[Chorus]
I wanna see me like you do
Through your eyes
In that soft focus
All the parts that I rush through
You hold them
You already know this
You look straight through my see-through
Catch the pieces I try to hide
I wanna love me like you do
Slow and honest
From your side
(Like you do, like you do)
[Verse 2]
You hear the shake inside my laughter
Call out the fear behind my jokes
You never push me any faster
Just match your breathing to my hopes
[Pre-Chorus]
You take your time
You take your time
Count every "maybe" as a try
You say "I'm not in any rush"
Why does that make me wanna fly?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
If I could borrow your reflection
Would I finally recognize my face?
[stacked harmonies
Building]
Every flaw you turn to color
Every crack you frame with grace
[crescendo]
So teach my hands to hold this heart
As carefully as you hold mine
I'll learn to stay when shadows start
Not run ahead
Not fall behind
[Chorus]
