lyrics

Oh, take me up slowly
You don’t even know me
Do you know what you want?

I get tacit and lonely
I wish you could show me
you won’t be gone

You, you're making the big time
You’re not even half mine
You don’t even try

Oh, take me up slowly
Grounded and holy
I’m on the line

Oh, take me up slowly
Grounded and holy
I’m on the line

I wish I could trust you
But I want the hard proof
Discernible signs

this feels like a good thing
Feels like it could be
Cracked for the light

Oh come and take me up slowly
Outside it’s snowing
Merry and bright

Oh, take me up slowly
Outside it’s snowing
Merry and bright

Sure, the lights are deceiving
I’d love to believe in
this star-stricken night

I don’t think you’ll hurt me
I think you’re worthy
I think you’re kind

So come, take me up slowly
But take me up surely
Take your time
