I Answer When I Am Ready - SOL ARIA
词:Zhong Junxian
曲:Zhong Junxian
When I am ready
I answer
Every little message
used to split me into two
One part running to reply
one part trying to stay true
Names would light up on the table
and I would leave myself behind
Like the fastest little answer
was the price to be kind
Now I turn the phone face down
and let the room come back
One full breath beside the chair
one beat inside my chest
I am not gone, I am gathering
I am not cold, I am clear
When my hands can hold the moment
I will answer from here
I answer when I am ready
I do not vanish in between
I am putting myself together
before I step back on the screen
I answer when I am ready
Not too late and not too soon
I can care without leaving me
I answer when I am ready
Ready
when I am ready
The blue light waits a minute
and the sky outside turns gold
I remember I have edges
I remember what I hold
I can love the people calling
I can meet them with my voice
But I do not have to lose myself
to prove I made a choice
Now I turn the phone face down
and let the room come back
One full breath beside the chair
one beat inside my chest
I am not gone, I am gathering
I am not cold, I am clear
When my hands can hold the moment
I will answer from here
I answer when I am ready
I do not vanish in between
I am putting myself together
before I step back on the screen
I answer when I am ready
Not too late and not too soon
I can care without leaving me
I answer when I am ready
I used to think my silence
made me difficult to love
Now I know a little pause
can be a place I am made of
No reply is worth the feeling
that I have no room to be
I can come back with a whole heart
and still be kind, still be me
I answer when I am ready
I do not vanish in between
I am putting myself together
before I step back on the screen
I answer when I am ready
Not too late and not too soon
I can care without leaving me
I answer when I am ready
When I am ready
I answer
