Slow Like Water (versie 2)

Intro

Streetlight humming through the screen door

Something in me is learning to move on its own again

Verse 1

Porch swing creaks where the night lets go

Aunt Edna's old radio hums low key

Fading yellow from a cigarette flick

I watch it burn slower than I thought it would

Chorus

Oh, slow like water down the driveway lane

Melt what can't be held, don't rush the rain

Slow like water down the highway again

Everything's moving but my heart stays calm and thin

Slow like water down the summer road

Nothing left to hurry, nothing else I know

Verse 2

The windowpane remembers every name that passed through here

Bubbles form in my soda glass too soon

Your boots are still by the door from July

Now it's September but some part of me won't say goodbye

Chorus

Oh, slow like water down the driveway lane

Melt what can't be held, don't rush the rain

Slow like water down the highway again

Everything's moving but my heart stays calm and thin

Slow like water down the summer road

Nothing left to hurry, nothing else I know

Bridge

Maybe some things need to fade like steam off a cup

Not everything can stay lit up

I won't cry it loud on the porch swing tonight

Just let this season roll out quiet as it came in

Chorus

Oh, slow like water down the driveway lane

Melt what can't be held, don't rush the rain

Slow like water down the highway again

Everything's moving but my heart stays calm and thin

Slow like water down the summer road

Nothing left to hurry, nothing else I know
