[Intro] Patience ain’t a crime I been standing at the edge of your line Trying not to push too hard Just reading the signs [Verse 1] Ooh, you move like lightning Every time it starts getting real You pull back, say you’re fine But I know how you feel You hide behind your silence Like it’s armor for your heart But I can see the cracks forming Every time we drift apart I just wish you’d stay [Chorus] Can we take it slow tonight? Can we let the walls fall down, babe? Can we turn this wrong to right? Can we love without the doubt and the maybes? Can we hold on when it gets cold? Can we mean it when we say it? Can we do what lovers do? Can we… me and you? [Post-Chorus] Can we? (Can we, can we?) Can we? Can we? (Can we, can we?) Tell me, can we? [Verse 2] Ooh, you’re so protective Of a heart that’s been through storms But you don’t have to fight alone You don’t have to brace for more I’m not here to break you I’m not here to leave I just wanna build something You don’t have to fear with me I just wish you would [Chorus] Can we take it slow tonight? Can we let the walls fall down, babe? Can we turn this wrong to right? Can we love without the doubt and the maybes? Can we hold on when it gets cold? Can we mean it when we say it? Can we do what lovers do? Can we… me and you? [Post-Chorus] Can we? (Can we, can we?) Can we? Can we? (Can we, can we?) Tell me, can we? [Bridge] Patience ain’t a crime I’m still right here, right on time We don’t have to rush the light Just step into it side by side Patience ain’t a crime I’m not going anywhere tonight All I need is one small sign Say the word and we’ll be fine [Chorus – Final] Can we take it slow tonight? Can we let the walls fall down, babe? Can we turn this wrong to right? Can we love without the doubt and the maybes? Can we hold on when it gets cold? Can we mean it when we say it? Can we do what lovers do? Can we… me and you? [Outro] Can we? Baby, just say we can Can we? Let this be where we begin Can we? Don’t let this slip away Can we… Stay.
