"Slowly" lyrics

Down in Margate had a sip of you
And it went straight to my head
I could've opened up
Cried and almost been myself
But I took the hit instead

I find it hard, hard to be soft
Stop saying I'm perfect
When 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 love 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
When 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 love to teach you
How to hold me
So go on, hold me
Maybe I will be fine this time
And I'll let you see me
In the light
Yeah, maybe I will be fine
