Lyric

You leave your coffee cooling by the book

A folded page beneath the way you look

The elevator hums, then fades below

You ask me if I’m ready; I say no

Not because I want to hold you back

I just know the weight inside your bag

If you need a place to set it down

I’ll be here when the room goes quiet now

Take your time, don’t rush the morning

Let the truth arrive without a warning

You don’t have to carry every sign

Come a little closer, take your time

The corner bakery pulls its shutters wide

A bus rolls past with rain along its side

You tell me about the life you’ve planned

I trace the little tremor in your hand

Maybe leaving isn’t letting go

Maybe love can make a wider road

If the distance asks you for a mile

Turn around and give me one more smile

Take your time, don’t rush the morning

Let the truth arrive without a warning

You don’t have to carry every sign

Come a little closer, take your time

And if the door clicks shut behind you

If the new place doesn’t feel like home

Call my name, I’ll come and find you

You were never meant to walk alone

Take your time, don’t rush the morning

Let the truth arrive without a warning

You don’t have to carry every sign

Come a little closer, take your time

Take your time

I’ll be here

Take your time

Come a little closer
