lyrics

Been trying to take my time
give in to the slow lean
been told to tow the line
I'm giving in slowly

Been pushing up against
ideas of picket fences
I know I've been holding you
out at arms length
a convenient defence
but now I think I'm ready to
let you know me
I'm giving in slowly

I'll move at my own pace and
you show me patience
given my own space I will
pick up the cadence

been dancing in the dusk
shaking out my trust issues
let them fall away
soften with the dust
I think that I must
finally be able to say
that you know me
I'm giving in slowly

filter my thoughts
how can I sort
all of it out
remind me to take
a moment to break
free from my doubt
I think I might be jaded
more than I anticipated
but I'm nearly
ready to let you hold me
I'm giving in slowly

melt down my promises to
hold hands with momentum
now that we walk in step you
can see that I meant 'em

been pushing up against
ideas of picket fences
but now I think ready to

filter my thoughts
how can I sort
all of it out
remind me to take
a moment to break
free from my doubt
I think I might be jaded
more than I anticipated
but I'm nearly
ready to let you hold me
I'm giving in slowly

let you hold me
I'm giving in slowly
let you know me
I'm giving in slowly
let you hold me
I'm giving in slowly
