[Verse] Beneath a quiet sky, I felt you near The woods went still, the path unclear Your hum moved soft through branch and stone Like I was safe, like I was home You didn’t speak, you didn’t plead You let the calm decide for me Too late to run, too late to choose I felt the pull, I felt it move [Pre-Chorus] The air grew slow, my breath grew thin The forest leaned and let me in [Chorus] It’s just the waiting It’s just the slow design He never takes you You give yourself in time Through every step and every doubt He lets the world all fade out He will wait until You give yourself to him [Verse] I saw your crown through leaves and haze Not made of gold, but bent and grave Your hands were still, your eyes were sure You knew this ground, you’d seen it before The humming held me like a vow I couldn’t tell you where or how My fear lay down, my will went slack I didn’t scream, I didn’t fight back [Pre-Chorus] The path returned, then slipped away The trees remembered where I stayed [Chorus] It’s just the waiting It’s just the slow design He never takes you You give yourself in time Through every step and every doubt He lets the world all fade out He will wait until You give yourself to him [Bridge] No chase No force No sudden end Just quiet bending where you bend If you hum back, the deal is sealed The forest shuts, the wound is healed Not healed right Just made complete [Chorus] It’s just the waiting It’s how the place decides He never takes you You step across the line Through every breath and every limb You’re already walking in He will wait until You give yourself to him You give yourself to him
