[Verse 1] Your list arrives before my coffee cools Three small emergencies, one borrowed afternoon I leave my own good plans beside the sink Then miss one tiny thing and hear what you think [Pre-Chorus] You count the slip, not all I carried through I’m learning what I want apart from you [Chorus] I need a little runway, room to move I’ve got a faster pace I need to prove I can care for you and still choose me Let me go at my own velocity My own velocity [Verse 2] I know the exact shade you ask me to find I know when to answer, when to fall in line But every yes gets heavier to say When my own small needs keep getting pushed away [Bridge] No, I won’t stay half-sized to keep you calm I’m not a service bell beneath your palm [Final Chorus] I need a little runway, room to move I’ve got a faster pace I need to prove I can care for you and still choose me Let me go at my own velocity My own velocity
