Slow Fire, Slow Fade

Verse

Concrete bench, amber light

Your shoulder brushed mine in the queue tonight

Coffee gone cold but my pulse stayed hot

Five a.m., the speakers still caught

Stranger's hand found mine on the rail

Nobody's talking, nobody needs to fail

Just this low hum where our shoulders lean

Bassline dying soft like a fading beam

Pre-Chorus

Is it the music or your hand that keeps time

Is it the hour or how I feel in line

Maybe it doesn't matter when it's done

Right now is all I've got, come back to me

Chorus

Slow fire, slow fade

Your touch turns the dark into shade

Slow fire, slow burn

I don't wanna let this moment turn

So close my eyes, let it linger on

Hold your hand till the light comes on

Verse

Six a.m., taxi lights blur to gray

Your voice low where mine trailed away

Empty cups stacked like paper snow

Still we stay, still we go slow

Pavement's slick from the rain we left behind

Your fingers lace through mine, no need for design

City wakes soft behind the glass

I hold your palm and I hold it fast

Pre-Chorus

Is it the music or your hand that keeps time

Is it the hour or how I feel in line

Maybe it doesn't matter when it's done

Right now is all I've got, come back to me

Chorus

Slow fire, slow fade

Your touch turns the dark into shade

Slow fire, slow burn

I don't wanna let this moment turn

So close my eyes, let it linger on

Hold your hand till the light comes on

Bridge

Maybe I built a whole week just for this spark

Maybe I'll forget but still keep the scar

Chorus

Slow fire, slow fade

Your touch turns the dark into shade

Slow fire, slow burn

I don't wanna let this moment turn

So close my eyes, let it linger on

Hold your hand till the light comes on
