Hearts Open Slowly
Amanda Wilkinson Lyrics

So you wonder what it might be like
The singer acknowledges that the listener might be curious about what could happen if they took a chance and let themselves be vulnerable.

If we close our eyes and give in
The singer posits that if they both surrender to their emotions and stop fighting their attraction, something beautiful could happen between them.

I admit I think about it too
The singer is not alone in their desire, as they admit to also being drawn to the listener.

And this ache for you never ends
Despite the passage of time, the singer still longs for the listener and feels a deep emotional pain which can only be eased by being with them.

It'd be easy to just let go
The singer acknowledges that it would be simpler to give in to their desires and act on their feelings.

To get lost and forget we know
By giving in to their passions, the singer and listener could forget everything else that's going on around them and just enjoy the moment.

It's like we touch each time you say my name
Even the sound of the listener saying the singer's name feels deeply intimate and personal, like a physical touch.

I feel the sweetest pain inside
The singer experiences both pleasure and pain when they think about the listener, and they find it bittersweet yet beautiful.

I know you feel me when I look at you
The singer believes that they can sense a deep connection with the listener even when they're just looking at each other without speaking.

As I make love to your eyes
The singer feels like they are engaging in an act of intimacy with the listener simply by looking deeply into their eyes and feeling emotionally entwined with them.

Each emotion evolves and expands
As their relationship deepens, the singer and listener discover new layers and dimensions to their shared emotions and feelings, and their relationship becomes richer and more complex over time.

It unfolds like a rose in your hands
Their love grows and blossoms like a beautiful flower, and they feel like they're nurturing and caring for it with gentle, loving hands.

Long after the flames and the fire
Even after their initial passion and excitement has faded, the singer believes that this connection between them will continue to burn brightly and be a source of comfort and strength throughout their lives.

We'll remember this dance of desire
The singer and listener will always look back on this moment in their lives as a time of intense connection and passion, and they'll carry those memories with them forever.

So there's no regret
The singer believes that if they take their time and let their love grow slowly, there will be no need to look back with regret or second-guess their decisions.

Just wait and let hearts open slowly
The singer encourages the listener to be patient and not rush into anything, to let their emotions unfold naturally and allow their love to grow and blossom over time.

Hearts open slowly
The central message of the song is that true love takes time to grow and develop, and that the best things in life are worth waiting for and savoring.
