Wine Slow, Burn Gold (Version 2)

Verse

Room speeds up, the hi-hats climb the wall

You slow your hips, let the bassline crawl

Your shoulder dips half a beat behind

Amber light pools where your waist unwinds

Everyone else chasing the fast line

You find the pocket, take your time

Sweat turns copper where the spotlight bends

Floor goes soft where the slow wine ends

Pre-Chorus

Are we holding back or holding on

Is this patience, or are you already gone

Chorus

Wine slow, burn gold

Let the fast lights lose their hold

Wine slow, burn gold

Skin remembers what the beat can't hold

Wine slow, burn gold

Stay right here till the heat unfolds

Wine slow, burn gold

Don't rush what your body already knows

Verse

Two hundred bodies moving double time

Your hand on my chest keeps a slower rhyme

The kick drum runs but your hips say wait

Amber shadow spilling off your shoulder blade

Strobes go fast, but your eyes stay still

Floor keeps rising like it's climbing uphill

We're out of step with the room somehow

Closer to right than we've ever been now

Pre-Chorus

Are we holding back or holding on

Is this patience, or are you already gone

Chorus

Wine slow, burn gold

Let the fast lights lose their hold

Wine slow, burn gold

Skin remembers what the beat can't hold

Wine slow, burn gold

Stay right here till the heat unfolds

Wine slow, burn gold

Don't rush what your body already knows

Bridge

Maybe slow's the only truth we get

Maybe gold's the heat we haven't named yet

Let the fast crowd blur, let the noise recede

Your waist against mine writes its own tempo

Chorus

Wine slow, burn gold

Let the fast lights lose their hold

Wine slow, burn gold

Skin remembers what the beat can't hold

Wine slow, burn gold

Stay right here till the heat unfolds

Wine slow, burn gold

Don't rush what your body already knows
