Slowly
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.
Down in Margate, had a sip of you
And it went straight to my head
I could have opened up, cried and almost been myself
But I took the piss instead
I find it hard
Hard to be soft
Stop saying I'm perfect
'Cause clearly I'm not
Just need to catch
Catch my breath
Go slowly, slowly
I know you’re not supposed to know me
But I only see it when you show me
Slowly
I’ll have to teach you how to hold me
So go on, hold me
Remember when you called us both a cab
And forgot you had your bike
And the whole way home
I thought how’s he keeping up with me
He must be really into me
As I fight
The urge to fly
I find it hard
Hard to be soft
Stop saying I'm perfect
Clearly I'm not
Just need to catch
Catch my breath
Go slowly, slowly
I know you’re not supposed to know me
But I only see it when you show me
Slowly
I’ll have to teach you how to hold me
So go on, hold me
And maybe I’ll be fine this time
And I’ll let you see me in the light
Yeah, maybe I’ll be fine
