Slow Burner (versione 2)

Verse

Sunroom curtains painted yellow where the sunlight leaks through

Coffee cup ring on the counter, steaming up like you just brewed it new

Your sweater still smells like last night's rain, but I don't mind the smell

The whole town's quiet this time of day except for that one bell that tolls for who knows what

Said I'll show you the old swimming hole if we're here before it gets hot

You rolled up your sleeves so I won't have to ask why not

Pre-Chorus

So is this a goodbye kiss or just the sunburn

Am I ready for whatever it brings tonight, oh yeah?

Chorus

Let's keep burning slow like summer always should

I don't wanna chase down every ending road

I'm not scared of goodbyes, only losing you before the door swings open to whatever comes next time around

So keep your windows rolled up and your hands on my wrist

Stay in this fire a little longer, stay right here with me tonight

Verse

We left the porch light off like we're trying to save some energy for tomorrow night

The porch swing creaks under our weight, one step behind you I still feel like home

Your phone's battery dead but you don't seem bothered at all

You just laugh and say it's fine, we'll figure it out later on

I'm not counting hours like I used to when you're still here beside me

The whole world could come crashing down but the radio won't turn itself off tonight

Pre-Chorus

So is this a goodbye kiss or just the sunburn

Am I ready for whatever it brings tonight, oh yeah?

Chorus

Let's keep burning slow like summer always should

I don't wanna chase down every ending road

I'm not scared of goodbyes, only losing you before the door swings open to whatever comes next time around

So keep your windows rolled up and your hands on my wrist

Stay in this fire a little longer, stay right here with me tonight

Bridge

Maybe someday I'll own every season like a man should be able to do

But for now just hand me that matchbook from the table by the door

I don't wanna know what tomorrow's gonna feel like until we've got more of these moments stored

Someday is just a word I'm not ready to write yet, no need to rush it on my own

Pre-Chorus

So is this a goodbye kiss or just the sunburn

Am I ready for whatever it brings tonight, oh yeah?

Chorus

Let's keep burning slow like summer always should

I don't wanna chase down every ending road

I'm not scared of goodbyes, only losing you before the door swings open to whatever comes next time around

So keep your windows rolled up and your hands on my wrist

Stay in this fire a little longer, stay right here with me tonight
