Say it slow through the hips and chest (Version 2)

Verse

Words ran dry on the kitchen tile

We stood there long past the last reply

Screen door banging in the hallway wind

Neither one of us gives in

Then the yard lights up, the speaker hums

Old man Sipho's turntable comes alive

You step out first, I follow behind

Dust on our ankles, gravel and grime

Pre-Chorus

No more talking, tongue's gone still

Something lower taking over the will

Chest to chest where the argument was

Let the low end say what talking never does

Chorus

Let the log drum handle the rest

Say it slow through the hips and chest

No more pleading, no more test

Let the log drum handle the rest

Log drum handle the rest

Log drum handle the rest

Verse

Your shoulder dips when the kick comes round

Half a smile breaking through the frown

Bass climbs up through the concrete floor

Old wound closing like a shutting door

Hand finds hand without a plan

Neither one had to raise a hand

Sweat and dust and the porch light dim

Every step is an answer we give in

Pre-Chorus

No more talking, tongue's gone still

Something lower taking over the will

Chest to chest where the argument was

Let the low end say what talking never does

Chorus

Let the log drum handle the rest

Say it slow through the hips and chest

No more pleading, no more test

Let the log drum handle the rest

Log drum handle the rest

Log drum handle the rest

Bridge

Maybe sorry was never the word

Maybe sorry was just unheard

Feel it move from your foot to mine

Closer now than we've been all night

No apology, no need to explain

Just the rhythm washing away the strain

Chorus

Let the log drum handle the rest

Say it slow through the hips and chest

No more pleading, no more test

Let the log drum handle the rest

Log drum handle the rest

Log drum handle the rest
