Slowburn – Tide & Comet

Verse

Copper light on the bar at eleven

Ice in my glass, not in my step

You came in slow like you own the room

Every head turned but you looked at me first

I don't chase, I don't rush the fire

I let it build like a bassline low

Your number's warm in my back pocket

I'll call you right when I'm ready to go

Pre-Chorus

Why you smiling like you already know

Where this is heading, where this could go

I could speed it up, but why would I

When the wait feels this good

Chorus

This a slowburn, baby, take your time

Simmer low, let it climb

No rush, no clock on the wall

Watch it build 'til we lose it all

Slowburn, feel the heat arrive

Patient hands, steady eyes

Some things taste better slow

This a slowburn, let it go

Verse

Three weeks now, still ain't touched your hand

Just your voice on the phone past two a.m.

Talking 'bout nothing, meaning everything

Your laugh got a rhythm I could build a song in

I could speed this up, make it easy

But easy never made it last

I want the kind that's worth the waiting

Not the kind that's over fast

Pre-Chorus

Why you smiling like you already know

Where this is heading, where this could go

I could speed it up, but why would I

When the wait feels this good

Chorus

This a slowburn, baby, take your time

Simmer low, let it climb

No rush, no clock on the wall

Watch it build 'til we lose it all

Slowburn, feel the heat arrive

Patient hands, steady eyes

Some things taste better slow

This a slowburn, let it go

Bridge

Maybe tonight I stop holding back

Maybe the fire's ready to catch

Your hand in mine, no need to explain

Some things you just can't keep tame

Chorus

This a slowburn, baby, take your time

Simmer low, let it climb

No rush, no clock on the wall

Watch it build 'til we lose it all

Slowburn, feel the heat arrive

Patient hands, steady eyes

Some things taste better slow

This a slowburn, let it go
