[Verse 1]
Stick around greenleaf, now that she's gone
Take my time when I got to bed, and I sleep long
I'm getting over, mulling over
I said, "Could you just wait to tell me in the morning?"

[Bridge]
Slow it down, slow it down
And lay it low, save it for the morning

[Verse 2]
I know that you would like, like to change me
Make me softer to your voice like a baby
I'm using caution, but you're warning
I wish that you could wait to tell me in the morning

[Bridge]
Slow it down, slow it down
And lay it low, save it for the morning

[Verse 3]
I'm shouting questions, like a fist fight
You try to take me by the arms lead me to the light
I'm almost over, warring over
I wish that you could wait to tell me in the morning
[Bridge]
Slow it down, slow it down
And lay it low, save it for the morning
And I'll tell you one more thing

[Chorus]
I confess to self-deception
And I broke the lock and I pried it open
Then pretended to be stolen
I am my own thief in the night

[Verse 4]
Struggled for many years just to get here
To learn humility and be my own teacher
I guess it backfired cause my motive
Was just to take another care 'bout what I give

[Bridge]
Slow it down, slow it down
And lay it low, save it for the morning

[Verse 5]
I'm shouting questions, like a fist fight
You try to take me by the arms lead me to the light
I'm almost over, warring over
I wish that you could wait to tell me in the morning
[Bridge]
Slow it down, slow it down
And lay it low, save it for the morning
But I'll tell you one more thing

[Chorus]
I confess to self-deception
And I broke the lock and I pried it open
Then pretended to be stolen
I am my own thief in the night
