Slow Down, Stay Awhile（バージョン2）

Verse

Steam curls up from a chipped white cup

Blinds cut stripes on the hardwood floor

Radiator ticks like it's counting up

Minutes I don't need anymore

Streetlight fades to a paler gray

Somewhere a bird tries out one note

Dust in the air catching first light's play

Nothing to fix, nowhere to float

Pre-Chorus

The clock hands barely move at all

Maybe that's the point of it all

So

Chorus

Slow down, stay awhile

Let the morning breathe a little

Slow down, stay awhile

Six a.m. and nothing's brittle

The world can wait outside the door

We've got the quiet, we've got the floor

Slow down, stay awhile

Let the morning breathe a little

Verse

Vinyl hums on the last groove spin

Your sock feet cross the cold windowsill

Sugar settles slow, dissolving in

Coffee going warm, but we sit still

Pages of a book left open wide

Half a thought just hanging in the air

Nowhere that we're trying to arrive

Just this room, this hush, this chair

Pre-Chorus

The clock hands barely move at all

Maybe that's the point of it all

So

Chorus

Slow down, stay awhile

Let the morning breathe a little

Slow down, stay awhile

Six a.m. and nothing's brittle

The world can wait outside the door

We've got the quiet, we've got the floor

Slow down, stay awhile

Let the morning breathe a little

Bridge

Someday the rush will come back around

Phones will ring, the hours will pound

But right now the kettle's the only sound

And right now is all we've found

Chorus

Slow down, stay awhile

Let the morning breathe a little

Slow down, stay awhile

Six a.m. and nothing's brittle

The world can wait outside the door

We've got the quiet, we've got the floor

Slow down, stay awhile

Let the morning breathe a little
