Verse
Words ran dry on the kitchen tile
We stood there long past the last reply
Screen door banging in the hallway wind
Neither one of us gives in
Then the yard lights up, the speaker hums
Old man Sipho's turntable comes alive
You step out first, I follow behind
Dust on our ankles, gravel and grime
Pre-Chorus
No more talking, tongue's gone still
Something lower taking over the will
Chest to chest where the argument was
Let the low end say what talking never does
Chorus
Let the log drum handle the rest
Say it slow through the hips and chest
No more pleading, no more test
Let the log drum handle the rest
Log drum handle the rest
Log drum handle the rest
Verse
Your shoulder dips when the kick comes round
Half a smile breaking through the frown
Bass climbs up through the concrete floor
Old wound closing like a shutting door
Hand finds hand without a plan
Neither one had to raise a hand
Sweat and dust and the porch light dim
Every step is an answer we give in
Pre-Chorus
No more talking, tongue's gone still
Something lower taking over the will
Chest to chest where the argument was
Let the low end say what talking never does
Chorus
Let the log drum handle the rest
Say it slow through the hips and chest
No more pleading, no more test
Let the log drum handle the rest
Log drum handle the rest
Log drum handle the rest
Bridge
Maybe sorry was never the word
Maybe sorry was just unheard
Feel it move from your foot to mine
Closer now than we've been all night
No apology, no need to explain
Just the rhythm washing away the strain
Chorus
Let the log drum handle the rest
Say it slow through the hips and chest
No more pleading, no more test
Let the log drum handle the rest
Log drum handle the rest
Log drum handle the rest
