slow like honey.

by fiona apple.

"you moved like honey in my dream last night
yeah, some old fires were burning-
you came near to me and you endeared to me
but you couldn't quite discern me.

does that scare you? i'll let you run away.
but your heart will not oblige you.
you'll remember me like a melody
yeah, I'll haunt the world inside you.

and my big secret - gonna win you over
slow like honey, heavy with mood.

i'll let you see me, i'll covet your regard
i'll invade your demeanor
and you'll yield to me like a scent in the breeze
and you'll wonder what it is about me.

it's my big secret - keeping you coming
slow like honey, heavy with mood.

though dreams can be deceiving-
like faces are to hearts.
they serve for sweet relieving
when fantasy and reality lie too far apart.

so I stretch myself across, like a bridge-
and I pull you to the edge.
and stand there waiting
trying to attain
the end to satisfy the story.
shall I release you?
must I release you?
as we rise to meet our glory

but my big secret
gonna hover over your life
gonna keep you reaching
when I'm gone like yesterday
when I'm high like heaven
when I'm strong like music
'cause I'm slow like honey, and
heavy with mood.''
