Slow Fire (versie 2)

Verse

Six AM and the kitchen light still on

Your sweatshirt's warm from yesterday alone

We never made it to that late train window

Turned out we didn't need a reason

Candles melting down, half a bottle gone

Floor is sticky where the speakers stood all night long

You laugh at something I said at three A.M.

Something about your eyes turned on

Nobody's asking us how this ends

We ain't counting days, just where the current bends

Pre-Chorus

So what do you say we burn it slow tonight?

Let the clock forget our names in light

Don't stop till the room turns gold again

Say goodbye to every version of me that's been

Chorus

We're burning slow like a fire that won't quit

Every hour left, every chance I get

I'm lighting up because you made it worth it

Nothing left but the heat and this breath we breathe

Burning slow like a fire that won't quit

Say goodbye to the version of me that's been

Verse 2

Your palm on my back, a steady heartbeat

Cigarette smoke curling off your chest now, sweet

The bassline hums underneath the couch cushions

We ain't worried about tomorrow yet

You draw a shape with your toe in the sand

Says stay right here and this is enough

No goodbyes at the station gate tonight

Just the hum of engines turning into heat

Pre-Chorus

So what do you say we burn it slow tonight?

Let the clock forget our names in light

Don't stop till the room turns gold again

Say goodbye to every version of me that's been

Chorus

We're burning slow like a fire that won't quit

Every hour left, every chance I get

I'm lighting up because you made it worth it

Nothing left but the heat and this breath we breathe

Burning slow like a fire that won't quit

Say goodbye to the version of me that's been

Bridge

Maybe this is how the ending starts

Not falling off but climbing from the scars

Your hand still warm on my chest now

This is the light I've been waiting for somehow

No more running past what could have been

Tonight we let it catch us in between

Let the whole world move a little slower tonight

We're not leaving till we see that morning light

Chorus

We're burning slow like a fire that won't quit

Every hour left, every chance I get

I'm lighting up because you made it worth it

Nothing left but the heat and this breath we breathe

Burning slow like a fire that won't quit

Say goodbye to the version of me that's been
