Slowburn Streetlight (Version 2)

Verse

Ninety-two degrees on the hood of your truck

Six o'clock and we still got a whole route to run

Static radio static-singing the same old song for the hundredth time

You're wearing your baseball cap sideways, I'm trying not to stare in your eyes

Pre-Chorus

So is it the heat or something more than that

Cause every mile feels like we're getting back closer to home

Is it the way you laugh at a bad country line

Or something deeper that's learning how to climb

Chorus

This is our slowburn streetlight, burning low and gold

We don't wanna fix the timing but we already know

The fire in this passenger seat has been burning all along

Slowburn, don't rush it, let it burn like a summer song

Verse 2

Your window's down on Copperfield Lane

You're singing the same five lines for what feels like an hour long

I'm memorizing every laugh and every little scar

The radio's dead but my heart is catching every spark

Maybe this town will never change

But with you, I feel like we already made a plan

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what you're waiting for

Is it something more or just the view

I'm not scared of getting lost if I get to see forever through your eyes

This whole town's got nothing on this quiet sky

Chorus

This is our slowburn streetlight, burning low and gold

We don't wanna fix the timing but we already know

The fire in this passenger seat has been burning all along

Slowburn, don't rush it, let it burn like a summer song

Bridge

Maybe some things just need to catch up on their own

Not forced or urgent or turned into gold

Just quiet nights and a whole lot of nothing to do

Nothing but us, the engine, the county view

Chorus

This is our slowburn streetlight, burning low and gold

We don't wanna fix the timing but we already know

The fire in this passenger seat has been burning all along

Slowburn, don't rush it, let it burn like a summer song
