Half Step Down

Intro

I catalog these steps now

decisive and intentioned

 precise and patterned

 specifically to yours

I'm talented at breathing

especially exhaling

 so that my chest will

rise and fall with yours

I'm careful not to wake you

fearing conversation

 It's better just to hold you

and keep you pacified

I'm talented with reason

I cover all the angles

I can fail before I EVER try

Chorus

Try to understand there's an

old mistake that fools will make

And I'm the king of them

 pushing everything that's good away

 So won't you hold me now?

 (I will not bend I will not break)

Won't you hold me now?

 (I will not bend I will not break)

I am fairly agile

I can bend and not break

 Or I can break and

take it with a smile

I am so resilient

I recover quickly

I'll convince you

soon that i am fine

Chorus

Try to understand there's an

old mistake that fools will make

And I'm the king of them

 pushing everything that's good away

 So won't you hold me now?

 (I will not bend I will not break)

Won't you hold me now?

 (For you I rise for you I fall)

Interlude

Bridge

 Just hold me close to you

(Repeat 4x)

Interlude

Chorus

Try to understand there's an

old mistake that fools will make

 And I'm the king of them

 pushing everything that's good away

 So won't you hold me now?

Won't you hold me now?
