The Heart That Slows Down

It comes tapping at your window
Like the midnight rain in June
Starts with innocence then grows up slow
Until the thunder shakes the room

My dear I feel like I could fall hard
'Though its been a year or two
I recognize those worry lines like scars
There's something coming back to you

And how I wish this
Storm could drown and
Wash your ghosts away
If overnights rest
Darkened clouds just pour out
And dissipate

But if your silhouette is riveted in silence
Like a wallflower in a dark lit room
And in that moment when you eye
The exit signs above the door
And everyone just wants a little more
A little more
A little more

I'll give it back to you, if you want me to
I'll give it back to you and I'll just do without
I'll give it back to you, if you need me to
I'll give it back to you and walk away to the sound
Of the heart that slows down

You're like the lighting in the distance
The second everything gets clear
And there's suspended in the instant
Our wander hangs above our fear

But when the light strikes
Every town around us feels the shock
But even so I try
To slow down time and dance in the breath we've got

'Cause if your silhouette is riveted in silence
Like a wallflower in a dark lit room
And in that moment when you eye
The exit signs above the door
And everyone just wants a little more
A little more
A little more

I'll give it back to you, if you want me to
I'll give it back to you and I'll just do without
I'll give it back to you, if you need me to
I'll give it back to you and walk away to the sound
Of the heart that slows down

Oh Father tell me and be honest
Is some life meant to break your dreams
To get our eyes used to the darkness
So come your light
We'll finally see
