“Slow Hope”
VERSE 1A
I’m still alive but the damage has been done
It’s evident that the cavalry won’t come
They’re telling me to just move on
That I’ve been in my head for way too long
VERSE 1B
Been tryin’ to fix my mind on what is pure and true
Tying bunny ears to tighten tiny shoes
When he shouts “Auntie, push me to the moon”
And all these jagged edges start to smooth
PRE-CHORUS 1
And I can breathe
CHORUS 1
I’m clinging to a slow hope
Trying to feel something new in my bones
I know there’s more for me
Even if tomorrow is out of my control
Then I’ll hold out for a slow hope
VERSE 2A
When you think that all that churches do is lie
But you find one in the mountains that does it right
They don’t pretend they’re perfect
So the flight and rental car were worth it
VERSE 2B
After service with the tears still in my eyes
Climbing into endless Colorado skies
Caught myself in unexpected laughter
With my cousins after
PRE-CHORUS 2
All that I’ve been through
CHORUS 2
I’m clinging to a slow hope
Trying to feel something new in my bones
I know there’s more for me
Even if tomorrow is out of my control
Then I’ll hold out for a fresh start
Gather the remnants of my glass heart
To see what is left of me
Even if I’m walking into the unknown
I’ll still hold out for a slow hope
BRIDGE
I know I’ll never not fight this pain
But the bad days are taking longer breaks
CHORUS 3
I’m clinging to a slow hope
Trying to feel something new in my bones
I know there’s more for me
Even if tomorrow is out of my control
Then I’ll hold out for a fresh start
Gather the remnants of my glass heart
To see what is left of me
Even if I’m walking into the unknown
I’ll still hold out for a slow hope
OUTRO
Slow
Oh
I’ll still hold out for a slow hope
