More Than You Bargained For

lyric

[Verse 1]
You call, I smile, then I let it ring
Not playing games, just protecting a tender thing
I like the way your patience fills the room
Like fresh sheets waiting in the afternoon
You reach for my hand, I give you two
A little more tomorrow, if it feels true
No need to name every road tonight
Let the quiet tell us when the time is right
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not saying no
I’m saying let it grow
There’s a rhythm to my heart
Don’t pull me past the start
[Chorus]
Baby, take it slow, don’t rush me
We have time, let your love touch me gently
If you hold me close, don’t hold too tight
I want to stay, not disappear overnight
Baby, take it slow, come trust me
One more day can make this feel easy
Leave a little room for me to breathe
Move with my heart, and I’ll move with you naturally
[Verse 2]
You ask where this could go, I say somewhere good
But good things need the time they should
I’ve seen a spark turn into a flame
Then burn the whole house down in someone’s name
So bring your stories, I’ll bring mine
We can trade the truth a page at a time
I don’t need a promise carved in stone
Just show me I’m safe when we’re alone
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not saying no
I’m saying let it grow
There’s a rhythm to my heart
Don’t pull me past the start
[Chorus]
Baby, take it slow, don’t rush me
We have time, let your love touch me gently
If you hold me close, don’t hold too tight
I want to stay, not disappear overnight
Baby, take it slow, come trust me
One more day can make this feel easy
Leave a little room for me to breathe
Move with my heart, and I’ll move with you naturally
[Bridge]
If you’re here when the morning comes
If you listen when I’m undone
If you let me choose the pace
I might give you every part of me someday
No running, no racing, no need to prove
The safest love knows when to move
[Final Chorus]
Baby, take it slow, don’t rush me
We have time, let your love touch me gently
If you hold me close, don’t hold too tight
I want to stay, not disappear overnight
Baby, take it slow, come trust me
One more day can make this feel easy
Leave a little room for me to breathe
Move with my heart, and I’ll move with you naturally
[Outro]
Take it slow
I’m still here
Give me time
And I’ll come near
