MUZIC SOCIETY

Lyrics

You pull away when care gets serious
Like tenderness comes with a debt
Somebody taught you early
Every promise hides a threat
So I won’t crowd your hesitation
Or turn patience into pressure
I’ll let every honest action
Place another brick beneath us
You said, “Men become impatient
When I don’t move when they decide”
I said, “Baby, I’m not racing
I’m learning how your trust survives”
Pre-Chorus — Breath-Controlled Falsetto
Take your time
I’m not counting every minute
What I want ain’t worth receiving
If your peace ain’t living in it
Chorus — Full-Chested Soul
We can move at your pace
Every step with your permission
I don’t need to force the moment
Just to prove there’s something in it
At your pace
Let your certainty arrive
I’d rather wait outside your fear
Than enter while it’s still alive
Background: Take your time
Lead: I ain’t going nowhere, woman
Verse 2 — Intimate, Conversational
You told me where your last love failed
How he memorized your weakness
Used apologies as passwords
Then repeated every secret
I won’t study what once hurt you
Just to gain a quicker entrance
I’ll remember what you trusted
And protect it with consistency
When you lean a little closer
I won’t treat it like surrender
A woman choosing vulnerability
Deserves a man who will remember
Bridge — Gospel Call and Response
Lead: I can hear your caution speaking
Background: Love her carefully
Lead: I can feel your trust returning
Background: Let it come naturally
Lead: I don’t want your body nearer
If your heart is somewhere hiding
I want every part of you
Arriving by its own deciding
Final Chorus — Strings and Three-Part Harmonies
We can move at your pace
No persuasion underneath it
Every boundary you give me
Makes your choosing more meaningful
At your pace
Till your fear no longer leads
I’ll be patient with the woman
Till the woman chooses me
Outro — Cracked Falsetto
Don’t hurry for me.
I want the yes
that doesn’t regret itself tomorrow.
Take your time.
I’ll meet you
at your pace.
