Slow Down Before the Sun Set (version 2)

Verse

Dust rising soft where the speakers stand

Salt on your collarbone and sand in your hand

You spin once slow like the turn of a wheel

Nobody else here that I need to feel

Cotton shirt stuck flat against your spine

Every breath is falling into line

Orange sky fading, heat stays behind

You don't ask questions, you just stay aligned

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how long this night has got to burn

Say the bass won't stop till morning turns

Chorus

Slow down before the sun sets low

Breathe it slow and let your body glow

Skin on skin in the orange haze

Nothing else matters in these two days

Verse 2

Sneaker laces come undone without a sound

You rest your head right where my shoulder bends around

Ice melts soft against your wrist now, not yet gone

I keep the volume low so we don't drift apart

Fingers tap light on the open door frame

No one's counting hours, no one's got to claim this place

Log drum breathing underneath our feet tonight

Just this warmth and the fading light of night

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how long this night has got to burn

Say the bass won't stop till morning turns

Chorus

Slow down before the sun sets low

Breathe it slow and let your body glow

Skin on skin in the orange haze

Nothing else matters in these two days

Bridge

Let the light go soft, let it fade to gold

We don't have to leave till we're told

No clock, no name, just this floor and heat

Just you and me against every street

Chorus

Slow down before the sun sets low

Breathe it slow and let your body glow

Skin on skin in the orange haze

Nothing else matters in these two days
