Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I used to talk like a car crash

Every word hitting way too fast

You were standing there in the doorway

Hands up like you’re bracing for the blast

All caps on a cracked screen

Typing things that I didn’t mean

Swore that I was “just being honest”

But I only made you bleed

[Chorus]

So I’ll say it slower

Hold my tongue

Pull you closer

I don’t wanna win this fight

If it means I lose your eyes tonight

I’ll breathe in

Lower

Every sharp edge

Every shoulder

I can’t take back what I said before

But I can say it slower

Say it slower

[Verse 2]

You flinch when the phone rings

Ghosts of all of our loud things

I see the way that my thunder

Turned your voice into lightning that stings

Now we sit on the stairs in the hallway

Counting cracks in the paint

Both afraid

You whisper

“Can you just listen?”

And it cuts deeper than any word I ever sprayed

[Chorus]

So I’ll say it slower

Hold my tongue

Pull you closer

I don’t wanna win this fight

If it means I lose your eyes tonight

I’ll breathe in

Lower

Every sharp edge

Every shoulder

I can’t take back what I said before

But I can say it slower

Say it slower

[Bridge]

I’m learning how to pause in the middle of a sentence (hey)

Let the silence wash the poison off my intentions

If my volume rises

I’ll turn it into questions

Like

“Are you hurting?” “Can we fix this?”

“Can we fix this?”

[Chorus]

So I’ll say it slower

Hold my tongue

Pull you closer

I don’t wanna win this fight

If it means I lose your eyes tonight

I’ll breathe in

Lower

Every sharp edge

Every shoulder

I can’t take back what I said before

But I can say it slower

Say it slower

(say it slower, say it slower)
