You came to me like a pilgrim With empty hands and a prayer Don't speak until I tell you I'm the one who decides what's fair I'm the only one who holds the key Say it sweetly, and I'll set you free I'll take my time, you'll learn to wait Patience is the thing I demonstrate Say my name like a prayer, and then I'll teach you how to ask again Keep your hands behind you now And keep those pretty eyes on mine You'll breathe when I tell you to breathe (Mm) And you'll break when I decide it's time I'm the only one who holds the key Say it sweetly, and I'll set you free I'll take my time, you'll learn to wait Patience is the thing I demonstrate Say my name like a prayer, and then I'll teach you how to ask again Not yet. Not yet. Look at me, keep still The whole sky's holding its breath And it waits on my will Forget who you were Forget your own name The universe is gasping Nothing will ever be the same Now. You break like light through a diamond A thousand colors scatter and fall I hold you through the whole of it I'm the only one who sees it all Breathing in each other's air The whole wide world has shrunk to two No one else was meant to see It's only me, and only you The key is back in my hand The candles have melted low You came to me as a pilgrim And now it's time to let you go I won your starlight, baby The night is nearly done One more time, say my name Tonight, I say we both won
