Take it Slow - Jason Myers

[Intro – sparse piano, almost a thought] Let’s take it slow… And honestly, There ain’t no other way for me and you to be. ⸻ [Verse 1 – hopeful] So There’s no rush whatever’s in front of us, let it find its pace. I’m sure things will show their meaning given time and space. I’m not looking for a reason, Im not looking to be told — I’m just noticing This feeling And letting it unfold. ⸻ [Hook – grounding] So Let’s take it slow, ’Cause there ain’t another way to go. Take my hand I’ll take you to any place, Any place you want to go ⸻ [Verse 2 – observational, present-tense] I can hear the city carry on beneath us A reminder life continues on around us, But thats ok, Tonight I take you by the hand, Like nothing else exists but us. I really welcome this slower pace. No talk of what this has to be, No pressure, That wouldn’t be fair on you And you said you wanna set me free. But I want to help you realise, You’re the exact place I wanna be. So, pull me close - shut this world away Let’s Breathe - And tonight - just be. Just be, just be! ⸻ [Hook – repeated, slightly warmer] So, Let’s take it slow, ’Cause there ain’t another way to go. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – minimal self-awareness] And Some days we’ll hesitate, feel the need to understand. But I’m learning how to pause Without reaching for another plan. ⸻ [Chorus – emotional centre, calm lift] So let’s take it slow, Let the days decide. No big words, no grand design, You and me Just walking side by side. We won’t have the answers, We don’t even need to know — So, Let’s take it slow… ’Cause there ain’t another way to go. ⸻ [Hook – stripped back, almost whispered] Let’s take it slow… ’Cause there ain’t another way to go. ⸻ [Bridge – very restrained, present] [voice soft] And Life moves fast for us, Life takes most of us, not much time for us. But, all we need is trust — ⸻ [Final Chorus – settled, confident, open] So let’s take it slow, Let it be just what it is. No promises to keep, No future bound to live. If this grows, then it grows with time, If it doesn’t? then I guess we’ll know — And if We take it slow? ’there’s no other way I want this to go. ⸻ [Outro – resolved, peaceful] [quiet, settled] So… Put your hand in mine And have faith it will be just fine take it slow Yeah… there ain’t no other way to go. Let’s take it slow I want to see where this road we’re on can go
