peace

This is folklore's tenderest question: can I give you peace? Not passion — "my life is too loud, I'm afraid I'll drag you in." Haven't you feared promising someone a home because you weren't steady enough?

It writes "restlessness" as a gentle fear of burdening. Taylor admits carrying too many storms, yet still wants to answer. You'll soften — the deepest love is often "I'm afraid I can't give you the best."
