[Verse 1] I kept your name In the hem of my sleeve Like a note in the rain I was scared to release You’d ask me plain And I’d smile like a saint But my hands tell on me When I’m alone at the gate [Pre-Chorus] Now the sky’s turning gold And I’m out of excuses If I let you in close Maybe I lose it Maybe I shake Maybe I fall Baby, I’ve waited Too long to call [Chorus] Here’s my heart, take it slow I’ve been hiding it low Here’s my heart, take it slow I just needed you to know I was yours all along Even when I was gone Here’s my heart, take it slow Now I’m saying it wrong, but I’m saying it, love [Verse 2] I wore my pride Like a coat through July But it never kept warm When you walked by There’s a crack in my voice Every time you get near Like the truth in my chest Finally learned how to hear [Pre-Chorus] Now the porch light glows And my courage is brittle If I speak from the soul I’ll be caught in the middle Of wanting to run And wanting to stay Baby, I’m ready To give myself away [Chorus] Here’s my heart, take it slow I’ve been hiding it low Here’s my heart, take it slow I just needed you to know I was yours all along Even when I was gone Here’s my heart, take it slow Now I’m saying it wrong, but I’m saying it, love [Bridge] If I sound undone It’s because I am I built all these walls With trembling hands But you look at me Like you already knew So I’m laying it down All the way to you [Chorus] Here’s my heart, take it slow I’ve been hiding it low Here’s my heart, take it slow I just needed you to know I was yours all along Even when I was gone Here’s my heart, take it slow Now I’m saying it wrong, but I’m saying it, love [Outro] Say you’ll stay near Say you’ll stay near I’m finally here I’m finally here
