[Intro — soft, breathless] Hey. Look at me. You don’t have to rush. I’m right here. [Verse 1] I spent half the night pretending I wasn’t watching every move, Trying not to overthink it, Trying not to stare at you. But I notice little things, I always have, I always will, Every pause between your breathing, Every moment you go still. Maybe I’m too obvious. Maybe that’s alright. Because when you look at me like that, I forget how to hide. [Pre-Chorus] So come closer. You don’t have to say much. I can wait. I’ve learned how. [Chorus] Tell me if this is okay, If you want me here this way, If you want my hands to linger, If you want me close, then stay. I’ll go slow, I’ll learn every little sign, Every breath, Every shiver, Every moment you give mine. I don’t need control If it isn’t something you choose. But if you give it to me— I swear I’ll be gentle with you. [Verse 2] I know I talk when I get nervous, Know I think too much out loud, But lately I’ve been learning How to let the silence speak somehow. You don’t have to see me To know exactly where I am, I’ll keep one hand around your heartbeat, Keep the other in your hand. And if you trust me with the quiet, If you let me lead you through, I’ll make sure every second Still belongs to you. [Pre-Chorus] I’m not trying to overwhelm you. I just— Really want to get this right. [Chorus] Tell me if this is okay, If you want me here this way, If you want my hands to linger, If you want me close, then stay. I’ll go slow, I’ll learn every little sign, Every breath, Every shiver, Every moment you give mine. I don’t need control If it isn’t something you choose. But if you give it to me— I swear I’ll be gentle with you. [Break — nearly whispered] You’re beautiful. I know I say that a lot. I mean it every time. [Bridge — vulnerable, building] I spent so much of my life Trying to become strong enough, Trying to save everyone, Trying to prove that I was enough. But with you, Strength feels different. It isn’t winning. It isn’t fighting. It’s knowing when to hold on, Knowing when to loosen my grip, Knowing I can be careful And still be strong. And if you trust me— That means more than you know. [Build] So close your eyes. Let me stay. Let me show you How much I pay attention. [Final Chorus] Tell me if this is okay, If you want me here, I’ll stay, If you want the world to disappear, I’ll keep everything else away. I’ll go slow, But don’t mistake that for fear, I know exactly what I want— I just need to know you want me here. Every breath, Every heartbeat, Every piece of trust you give— I’ll hold it carefully. I’ll never treat it lightly. So tell me if this is okay. [Outro — soft, smiling] Yeah? Okay. Come here.
