Unravel Me Slow

I’m still half-guarded, keys clenched in my hand
You don’t take them, you just say “I understand”
And something in me loosens, falls apart slow
Like a coat to the floor I didn’t know I’d let go

Pre-Chorus
Don’t ask me for perfect, I don’t come that way
But you’re steady as midnight, and I wanna stay

Chorus
Unwrap me, layer by layer
No spotlight, just you there
In the hush where my secrets live
I don’t hide, I just give
All the edges I kept inside
All the truths I would never write
If I fall, will you stay?
Don’t rush me—learn my pace

Verse 2
Your voice low like a record turned down
Every silence got a weight, got a sound
You don’t fill it, you let it breathe
Like you trust there’s more in me

I confess in fragments, out of order, unclear
You don’t fix it, you just pull me near
And I feel every wall start bending in
Not from force—just you letting me in

Pre-Chorus
No performance, no lines to rehearse
Just your hands saying “you don’t have to be first”

Bridge
I been holding my breath for years
You make it safe to disappear
Not into nothing—but into you
Where I don’t have to choose what to prove

Take the night, take all of me slow
Not possession—just letting go
If I tremble, don’t let me run
Stay right there till the fear comes undone

Outro
Still the city, still the dark
But you memorizing every part
And I’m not afraid like before
Of what we might open the door for

So unwrap me…
But gently…
Like you already know
There’s more

[Intro] starts with just the nylon guitar, gradually adding the fretless bass in the second half, then introducing a slow, soft pad, a soft Cello, and subtle shaker. Verse 1 It’s past two, city breathing through the blinds You trace circles like you’re reading my mind No rush, no scripts, just skin and quiet truth Every word you don’t say pulls me closer to you I’m still half-guarded, keys clenched in my hand You don’t take them, you just say “I understand” And something in me loosens, falls apart slow Like a coat to the floor I didn’t know I’d let go Pre-Chorus Don’t ask me for perfect, I don’t come that way But you’re steady as midnight, and I wanna stay Chorus Unwrap me, layer by layer No spotlight, just you there In the hush where my secrets live I don’t hide, I just give All the edges I kept inside All the truths I would never write If I fall, will you stay?
