lyrics

At the Metrorail gate, you point at my shoes in the dust

You tap the old chalk board, then let your own words rust

You mix up the steps, then laugh and say, "Try it this way"

I keep my blue pen ready, you keep bending time today

You pause by the enamel mug, the tea gone cold

You show me twice, then three times, like that story gets old

I miss the turn again, you shake your head and grin

Still you hold the line for me, and pull me back in

Show me slow, show me slow

Show me slow, show me slow

You take my hand, then let it go

Show me slow, show me slow

On the Formica table, your nails mark circles in the ring

You point to the cracked window, then you let the kettle sing

I blur the corner again, you fix it with a nod

Your patience wears a faded shirt, your patience has a job

You pause by the enamel mug, the tea gone cold

You show me twice, then three times, like that story gets old

I miss the turn again, you shake your head and grin

Still you hold the line for me, and pull me back in

Show me slow, show me slow

Show me slow, show me slow

You take my hand, then let it go

Show me slow, show me slow

At the taxi rank, the driver leans on the door

You draw the route in the air, then you draw it once more

I finally catch the shape, the way your hands allow

You taught me with a crooked smile, and I hear it now

Show me slow, show me slow

Show me slow, show me slow

You take my hand, then let it go

Show me slow, show me slow
