I see the way you guard your heartLike something you can’t give too fastA little hope behind your eyesA little warning from the pastI ain’t here to name it loveBefore you know it’s trueI ain’t here to change your mindOr make a choice for you
I won’t move too fastI won’t ask too soonI’ll leave the light on, girlAnd leave the choice to youBut if you ever reachIf you ever needYou know where I’ll be
I could love you rightIf you let meTake the long way homeIf you’re readyI won’t chase your heartI won’t make you believeI could love you rightIf you let meIf you let meIf you let me
We could dance in the kitchenWith the radio lowI’d cook your favorite dinner wrongAnd pretend I didn’t knowYou’d say, “That’s not how you made it”I’d swear I got it rightI might change it every timeBut girl, I’d do you right We could sing off-keyOn some backroad after darkLearn each other slowlyNot just the easy parts
I don’t need perfect morningsI don’t need easy daysI just want the truth of youIn all your wild and quiet waysBut if you ever reachIf you ever needYou know where I’ll be
I could love you rightIf you let meTake the long way homeIf you’re readyI won’t chase your heartI won’t make you believeI could love you rightIf you let meIf you let meIf you let me
I can’t choose for youI can’t break your fearI can only be the manWho keeps showing up right hereNo easy road laid out for usNo map, no perfect dayJust truth and time and open handsAnd a love that finds the way
I could love you rightIf you let meI could hold the lineIf you’re readyWe could let the past go quietAnd remember how to breatheI could love you rightIf you let meI won’t force the doorI’ll leave the light where you can seeIf your answer’s yesYou know where I’ll beI could love you rightIf you let meIf you let meIf you let me
Kitchen light dancingRoads we ain’t seenA life we could grow intoIf you let me
