[Verse 1] Everybody's got a match in their pocket today One wrong word and the whole room's ready to blaze I feel the spark down at my throat Feel the old reflex Reach for the rope [Pre-Chorus] But I can leave one breath between The hand that shakes And the thing I mean [Chorus] Take it as it comes Let it arrive No need to turn every wave into a fight Take it as it comes Loosen the grip Peace is a practice Not a switch When the whole world wants a trigger pulled I choose to pause I choose to cool Take it as it comes [Post-Chorus] Let the moment wait Let the moment wait [Verse 2] The world keeps leaning on the alarm I keep both feet beneath my arms No need to answer every call I let the rising water fall I don't have to win the room I don't have to strike too soon There is a door inside the heat I can step back, I can choose my feet [Pre-Chorus] And I can leave one breath between The words I want And what they mean [Chorus] Take it as it comes Let it arrive No need to turn every wave into a fight Take it as it comes Loosen the grip Peace is a practice Not a switch When the whole world wants a trigger pulled I choose to pause I choose to cool Take it as it comes [Post-Chorus] Let the moment wait Let the moment wait [Verse 3] Traffic horns in a headline, dressed in red A thousand little verdicts marching through my head I hear heat behind your eyes I know the place where patience dies So I set the answer aside Before it turns into a line Your hurt is not a hand grenade And mine is not a debt you've made [Bridge] If I am angry, let me be honest If I am wounded, let me be kind I can hold the fire without becoming it I can give the better thought some time One breath for you One breath for me One small mercy is enough to start The strongest thing I ever do Is leave a little room around my heart [Breakdown] Let it wait Let it wait I don't have to say it now Let it wait Let it wait I can lay the weapon down [Final Chorus] Take it as it comes Let it arrive No need to turn every wave into a fight Take it as it comes Loosen the grip Peace is a practice Not a switch When the whole world wants a trigger pulled I choose to pause I choose to cool Take it as it comes [Final Lift] Take it as it comes I will stay alive I will not make a wound out of a passing night Take it as it comes Loosen the grip Peace is a practice I am learning it When the whole world wants a trigger pulled I choose to pause I choose to cool Take it as it comes [Outro] Let the moment wait Let the moment wait Tomorrow can receive what I don't say today
