Slow Water Run 2 (version 2)

Verse 1 – female vocal

Steam against the glass, thin as a sigh

Dust on my shoulder from a window left open wide

Rays through the blinds like fingers tracing skin

Your shoes gone quiet beneath the bed where we fell

I am breathing into space that used to hold you too well

Pre-Chorus – male vocal

If this silence can keep us from flying away

What else could it teach me about being still?

Chorus

Slow water run, let go of my name

Every drop I release sets the tide in flames

Slow water run, down to the bone

Letting go is where we made ourselves home

Verse 2 – male vocal

Shadows on your wrist like a story only told once

I trace them with fingers still soft from how it felt to hold you

Your side of the room still lit by the moon's faint glow

While I'm running through darkness that was never ours to own

Every footstep echoes off the walls we used to share

But I will not call back what is leaving me there

Pre-Chorus – female vocal

What if letting go makes this space a little brighter?

Can you hold the mirror when my reflection starts to shift?

Chorus

Slow water run, let go of my name

Every drop I release sets the tide in flames

Slow water run, down to the bone

Letting go is where we made ourselves home

Bridge – duet

You and me

Two rivers

One shore

We were never one thing, just two things side by side

And this silence isn't an ending; it's us learning how to divide

No more shadows on my wrist from what only used to be ours to own

Just the slow water running till we find ourselves alone

Chorus

Slow water run, let go of my name

Every drop I release sets the tide in flames

Slow water run, down to the bone

Letting go is where we made ourselves home
