Lyric discussion by Alice. 

Cover art for Given the Chance lyrics by Kite String Tangle, The

A girl that is probably more than somewhat abrasive "you can take me down". Putting up a front of being stronger than she is "You hide your battle scars" but the singer knows she wants to be loved, knows she'd date him or even just go home with him if he tried. He just wants to go slowly. Girls aren't always the bitches they appear to be on the outside and some people can see that.

Or maybe she knows that you will wait forever til all her emotional scar is healed. She doesnt want you to waste your time. Find someone that is not broken. She wants you to be happy because that will her happy.

My Interpretation

Actually, dont. Wait for me. Dont give up on me. But step by step and hold my hand.This is not my strength and it scared me the most to give you my trust to hold my heart. But i have butterflies in my tummy whenever i think of your gentle eyes.
