The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Stick around Greenleaf, now that she's gone

Take my time when I go to bed, and I sleep long

I'm getting over, mulling over

I said "can't you just wait to tell me in the morning?"

Slow it down

Slow it down

Than laying low

Save it for the morning

I know that you would like, like to change me

Make me softer to your voice like a baby

I'm using caution, bet you're warning

I wish that you could wait to tell me in the morning

Slow it down

Slow it down

Than lay it low

Save it for the morning

I'm shouting questions, like a fist fight

You tried to take me by the arms lead me to the light

I'm almost over, worring over

I wish that you could wait to tell me in the morning

Slow it down

Slow it down

Than lay it low

Save it for the morning

And I'll tell you one more thing

I confess to self deception

And I broke the lock and I pried it open

Then pretend to be stolen

And I am my own thief in the night

Struggled for many years, just to get here

To learn humility, and be my own teacher

I guess it backfired, 'cause my motive

Was just to take and never care 'bout what I give

Slow it down

Slow it down

Than lay it low

Save it for the morning

I'm shouting questions, like a fist fight

You tried to take me by the arms lead me to the light

I'm almost over, worring over

I wish that you could wait to tell me in the morning

Slow it down

Slow it down

Than lay it low

Save it for the morning

But I'll tell you one more thing

I confess to self deception

And I broke the lock and I pried it open

Then pretend to be stolen

And I am my own thief in the night
