Let's Take Slow Steps Lyrics

You're home now and I can't imagine
What It's like
To enter a stonewall building
Knowing you'll wake up different
Wake up different
Waking up with a new way of life
What you wanted
But it's how it had to be
For you to keep seeing the world

Let's take slow steps so we
Can mould you right
Let's begin right now
Lift off and take flight
We're in these clouds and they rotate (x2)

You came to with a mouth so dry
Not knowing where you were
Your immune system's so low
A common sickness would own you
You saw the stone walls and automatic doors
And I was waiting for you
I am your watch tower

Could you be any healthier?
Could you really be any healthier?
I always tried my best to know (?)
But you couldn't
Could you be any he--
OOOOaaaaarrrhh be any heal--
Oh could you be
Oh could you be any hea-
Oh could you be alright

Could you be any healthier
Could you oh be any healthier
You could be any healthier

I'm still waiting, still waiting
To see
Why
Why
Why
Why
Taken by surprise
Why
Why
Why
Taken

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

one of their best songs. :) I like them a whole lot.

I think it's about someone, who's really healthy and stuff, and who dies anyway, and he doesn't understand, why that person died. a person who was sick, even though he lived a healthy life.

or something, I'm not sure.

"You saw the stone walls and automatic doors" reminds me of a hospital
