Tailored By Time

They asked me what my secret was…
Looking this good out on the floor tonight.
I smiled and said… honey.
It takes a lot of years to look this easy.

Step slow.
Breathe deep.
Let the rhythm… wake you from your sleep.

Silk on the shoulder, nothing left to prove,
I don’t walk into a room, I make the whole room move.
Used to wear my worries, used to wear my pride,
Now I wear the rhythm, let the fabric glide.
Bare feet, slow steps, leaving nothing out,
This is what the quiet confidence is all about.

Nothing beautiful was hurried
And neither, honey, were we.
We kept the heavy velvet,
We know how to hold the night.

Oh, we are tailored by time!
Tailored by time.
Every scar is a seam, every line is by design.
We don’t dance to be seen, we dance to be free.
Yeah, it takes a lot of years to look this easy.
Head high, slow sway…
We earned every single thread today.

How long? Years, honey, years!
How long? Years, honey, years!
Step slow, shine bright.
Tailored by time tonight.

You steady my rhythm, I steady your grace,
We bring our whole history into this space.
We lost a couple buttons, weathered through the rain,
But nothing fits you better than the joy that follows pain.
Look at how we move together, reading every sign,
Aged like a masterpiece, signed in the corner by time.

Nothing beautiful was hurried
And neither, honey, were we.
We kept the heavy velvet,
We know how to hold the night.

Oh, we are tailored by time!
Tailored by time.
Every scar is a seam, every line is by design.
We don’t dance to be seen, we dance to be free.
Yeah, it takes a lot of years to look this easy.
Head high, slow sway…
We earned every single thread today.

I used to save my best for someday…
The bright silk, the slow song,
The version of me I kept folded away.
Then someday… opened the door.

And I walked in.

Oh, we are tailored by time!
Tailored by time.
Every scar is a seam, every line is by design.
Still soft, still strong, still exactly where we belong.
Time didn’t take us, honey… it tailored us.
Head high, slow sway…
We earned every single thread today.
