Golden, Openly

I've been through a share of love before

Some long nights, some short time doors

Had to learn how to be alone

Had to sit with my heart while nobody call my phone

Did the attitude much help?

Crying nights working on my health

It gets a little boring, I can't lie

But I've been doing thinking, looking deep inside

Then you came and caught my eye

Now I'm wondering if the time ain't right

I don't wanna make you feel like I'm moving too fast

But I don't wanna hide a feeling I caress

I just wanna be next to you

Share my thoughts, it's in here, you're true

How we gon' know the real us

If we keep our feelings all locked up?

I need release of time and love in me

The real me

I wanna love you openly

No games, no distance, no mystery

Let's not be strangers, let's be unknowing

Let's take our time, but don't hold back

We can be friends, let the feeling go

And maybe fall in love if we let go

Baby, that's codeine

No fear, no lies, just us being clear

Codeine

I'll show you my heart if you meet me there

And I'll look and make you cautious

Especially when your past got losses

Maybe you've been hurt, maybe I have too

But I still believe something real can bloom

I'm not saying we got all the answers

I'm not tryna rush into forever after

I just want the space to know you're mine

Know what makes you laugh, know what's on your mind

You can tell me where your pain came from

I can tell you where I'm coming from

No pretending, no acting tough

Just two people seeing if it's real enough

I just wanna be close to you

Not control you or pressure you

I wanna learn the things you never say

And give you somewhere safe to stay

I may release kindly

But loving me, real me

I wanna love you openly

No games, no distance, no mystery

Let's not be strangers, ′cause we don't know yet

Let′s take our time, but don't hold back

We can be friends, let the feeling grow

And maybe fall in love if we let go

Baby, just go, go then

No fear, no walls, just us being clear

Go then

I′ll show you my heart if you meet me there

No rushing, no running, just honest conversations

No hiding, no running, just building a foundation

If you hear me, I'll be gentle

If you trust me, I'll be careful

We don't have to call it love tonight

But don't be afraid to let us hear it right

I may release the kindly, the loves of me, the real me

I wanna love you openly, no games, no distance, no mystery

My service flies in, take it slow

Let the conviction naturally grow

And if our hearts decide, they know

We can fall in love only to let go

Baby, let's go there

I′ve given my truth again to your words

Let's go there

Maybe this is what our hearts been waiting
