Say It Slowly

You don't have to tell me everything I can hear it when you pause There's a different kind of meaning In the words you almost lost You look at me, then look away Like you're choosing what to keep And somehow all the things you don't say Are the ones that stay with me Don't rush the silence Let it stay between us I already know There's something you don't want to lose Say it slowly I don't need to hear it all tonight Say it slowly Let me read it in your eyes You don't have to make it certain You don't have to make it true Just say it slowly I want to hear it coming from you There's a quiet in the room tonight That neither one of us disturbs You move a little closer Then you stop before the words I've known people who could talk for hours And never tell you where they stood You say almost nothing And somehow I understand you Say it slowly I don't need to hear it all tonight Say it slowly Let me read it in your eyes You don't have to make it certain You don't have to make it true Just say it slowly I want to hear it coming from you Maybe some things lose their meaning When you say them too soon Maybe silence has its own language In a room like this with you So take your time There's nowhere else I need to be Whatever you're about to tell me Let it arrive naturally Say it slowly I don't need to hear it all tonight Say it slowly Let me read it in your eyes You don't have to make it certain You don't have to make it true Just say it slowly I want to hear it coming from you Say it slowly Take your time I can hear you Between the lines
