Ground carries what we don't say out loud

Verse 1

Clay floor cracked from the afternoon sun

Dust lifts soft where your heel comes down

Speaker wire runs to the mango tree

Bass climbs up through the sole of your feet

You don't look at me, you just shift your weight

Heat moves through the ground before it's late

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising through the clay

Floor gets warmer with the way we sway

Nobody's talking, nobody needs to

Chorus

Heels on the clay, heat on the floor

Ground carries what we don't say out loud

Heels on the clay, heat on the floor

Feet know the rhythm before the crowd

Heels on the clay

Heat on the floor

Verse 2

Red dust settles on your ankle bone

Log drum shaking through the yard alone

Knee bends low where the beat drops in

Floor remembers every place we've been

Shoulders drift close but our hands stay still

Ground is doing all the talking still

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising through the clay

Floor gets warmer with the way we sway

Nobody's talking, nobody needs to

Chorus

Heels on the clay, heat on the floor

Ground carries what we don't say out loud

Heels on the clay, heat on the floor

Feet know the rhythm before the crowd

Heels on the clay

Heat on the floor

Bridge

Take off your shoes, let the clay hold your name

Dust on your skin like it's always the same

Floor don't forget, floor don't lie

Every step sinks deep, no need to ask why

Chorus

Heels on the clay, heat on the floor

Ground carries what we don't say out loud

Heels on the clay, heat on the floor

Feet know the rhythm before the crowd

Heels on the clay

Heat on the floor
