[Verse 1]
I know the language of a closed-door room
Polished shoes, measured words, nothing too soon
I can solve a problem, sign my name, stay composed
But you touch my wrist and every rule I know goes
I want your patience, not a perfect plan
Want to be honest when I don't understand
There's a room in me I kept under lock and key
If you have the time, come find it with me
[Pre-Chorus]
I might move slowly, I might lose my nerve
But I won't promise what I cannot serve
If you say stop, I'll listen close
If you say stay, I'll let you know
[Chorus]
I want love and lust, but I don't want to rush
I want your hand in mine, your trust in my touch
I'm afraid of the door, afraid of what gets through
So if I let you lead, I'll learn to follow you
No games, no borrowed lines, no pretending I'm tough
Just tell me what you need, and I'll tell you enough
I don't know how to open, but I want to begin
Will you meet me at the edge and let me let you in?
[Verse 2]
I have hidden behind work until the morning comes
Made a suit of good intentions, buttoned every one
You see the person underneath the practiced tone
And somehow being seen feels better than alone
I want to learn your yes, your no, your maybe later
Want to make desire feel safer, not greater
We can name each little fear before it grows
Take the road together, wherever it goes
[Pre-Chorus]
I might move slowly, I might lose my nerve
But I won't promise what I cannot serve
If you say stop, I'll listen close
If you say stay, I'll let you know
[Chorus]
I want love and lust, but I don't want to rush
I want your hand in mine, your trust in my touch
I'm afraid of the door, afraid of what gets through
So if I let you lead, I'll learn to follow you
No games, no borrowed lines, no pretending I'm tough
Just tell me what you need, and I'll tell you enough
I don't know how to open, but I want to begin
Will you meet me at the edge and let me let you in?
[Bridge]
We can keep the lights low, keep the questions clear
You can change your mind, I'll still be here
I don't need to conquer what I long to know
I want to be beside you, not ahead, not in control
[Final Chorus]
I want love and lust, with a heart awake
I want every promise to be one we make
I'm still afraid of the door, but I'm turning the key
If you take my hand, I'll bring the truest part of me
No games, no borrowed lines, no pretending I'm tough
Your comfort is the compass, your trust is enough
I don't know all the answers, but I know where to start
I will listen, I will learn, I will give you my heart
[Outro]
Come slowly
Tell me what you need
I'll meet you honestly
And let you lead
