Half Step Down
Intro
I catalog these steps now
decisive and intentioned
precise and patterned
specifically to yours
I'm talented at breathing
especially exhaling
so that my chest will
rise and fall with yours
I'm careful not to wake you
fearing conversation
It's better just to hold you
and keep you pacified
I'm talented with reason
I cover all the angles
I can fail before I EVER try
Chorus
Try to understand there's an
old mistake that fools will make
And I'm the king of them
pushing everything that's good away
So won't you hold me now?
(I will not bend I will not break)
Won't you hold me now?
(I will not bend I will not break)
I am fairly agile
I can bend and not break
Or I can break and
take it with a smile
I am so resilient
I recover quickly
I'll convince you
soon that i am fine
Chorus
Try to understand there's an
old mistake that fools will make
And I'm the king of them
pushing everything that's good away
So won't you hold me now?
(I will not bend I will not break)
Won't you hold me now?
(For you I rise for you I fall)
Interlude
Bridge
Just hold me close to you
(Repeat 4x)
Interlude
Chorus
Try to understand there's an
old mistake that fools will make
And I'm the king of them
pushing everything that's good away
So won't you hold me now?
Won't you hold me now?
