Catching soft in the fading dark (version 2)

Verse

Coals going bright in the low steel drum

Smoke curls up where the sparks first come

Your shoulder finds mine on the wooden bench

Ash on your fingers, a woodsmoke scent

Kick drum ticking like a heartbeat slow

Nobody moves till the embers glow

Pre-Chorus

Watch how the small light learns to grow

Feel how the heat climbs easy and slow

No match struck twice, no word to spend

Just breath and rhythm, start to bend

Chorus

Warm ember glowing from a spark

Catching soft in the fading dark

One small flicker, we let it spread

Warm ember glowing from a spark instead

Warm ember glowing from a spark

Warm ember glowing from a spark

Verse

Hip leans in when the bassline turns

Skin remembers the way it burns

Dust on our ankles, the fire pit wide

Shadow and firelight, side by side

Your palm on my chest keeps the counting true

Every slow pulse is a language too

Pre-Chorus

Watch how the small light learns to grow

Feel how the heat climbs easy and slow

No match struck twice, no word to spend

Just breath and rhythm, start to bend

Chorus

Warm ember glowing from a spark

Catching soft in the fading dark

One small flicker, we let it spread

Warm ember glowing from a spark instead

Warm ember glowing from a spark

Warm ember glowing from a spark

Bridge

Not every fire needs a flame to prove it

Some just hold the warmth and move it

Hand to hip and chest to chest

Nothing loud says it the best

Chorus

Warm ember glowing from a spark

Catching soft in the fading dark

One small flicker, we let it spread

Warm ember glowing from a spark instead

Warm ember glowing from a spark

Warm ember glowing from a spark
