Lyrics
(Rhodes piano, tro fiddle, soft snaps)
សម្លាញ់...
Take your time
You keep your walls up like a locked front gate
Say you're fine, but your eyes say wait
Somebody broke what was never his to break
Now every kind word feels like a mistake
Parked outside your place on a quiet street
Engine idling low, no pressure, no heat
You don't gotta let me in tonight
I'll still be here in the morning light
កុំខ្លាច, កុំខ្លាច
I ain't him, I ain't the same
មួយជំហានម្ដងៗ
Slow love ain't a losing game
បងនឹងរង់ចាំ, baby, take your time
អូនមិនបាច់ប្រញាប់ទេ, I don't need a sign
ចិត្តអូនធ្លាប់របួស, I can see the scars
Let me be the one who's patient with your heart
បងមិនទៅណាទេ, I'll be right here
Every day, every month, every year
ពេលណាអូនត្រៀមខ្លួន, I'll be at the door
បង will wait, and wait some more
Your ម៉ាក់ still side-eyes me when I come around
Brought her ផ្លែឈើ, she just set 'em down
Little brother asking if I'm here to stay
I tell him yeah, I ain't going away
You flinch when I laugh a little too loud
Still waiting for the rain behind every cloud
So I don't make promises, I just show up
Same time, same place, till it's enough
កុំខ្លាច, កុំខ្លាច
I ain't him, I ain't the same
មួយជំហានម្ដងៗ
Slow love ain't a losing game
បងនឹងរង់ចាំ, baby, take your time
អូនមិនបាច់ប្រញាប់ទេ, I don't need a sign
ចិត្តអូនធ្លាប់របួស, I can see the scars
Let me be the one who's patient with your heart
បងមិនទៅណាទេ, I'll be right here
Every day, every month, every year
ពេលណាអូនត្រៀមខ្លួន, I'll be at the door
បង will wait, and wait some more
(falsetto, strings rise)
ទុកចិត្តបង
Maybe not today, maybe not this year
ទុកចិត្តបង
When you're ready, I'll be here
រង់ចាំ, រង់ចាំ
However long it takes
រង់ចាំ, រង់ចាំ
Not every love breaks
បងនឹងរង់ចាំ, baby, take your time
អូនមិនបាច់ប្រញាប់ទេ, I don't need a sign
ចិត្តអូនធ្លាប់របួស, I can see the scars
Let me be the one who's patient with your heart
បងមិនទៅណាទេ, I'll be right here
Every day, every month, every year
ពេលណាអូនត្រៀមខ្លួន, I'll be at the door
បង will wait, and wait some more
(piano and tro alone)
Porch light flickers, you finally wave
Not a yes, but I'll take it, babe
បង will wait...
បងនឹងរង់ចាំ
