Slow Burn in Grey Light (версия 2)

Verse

Cigarette smoke curls slow above the tablecloth

Your voice cuts through the static like a second thought

Three in the morning and my jacket's on the floor

You're saying something low I'm only half-aware of

Pre-Chorus

So tell me, why are you standing so close now?

Is it the whiskey or is this how it always goes down?

Hands still moving like we know what to say

Say it soft but mean it anyway

Chorus

Slow burn in grey light, skin on a borrowed seat

Slow burn in grey light, I can feel you learning my beat

Nobody's watching so don't pretend you're brave

Just hold the silence for one more wave

Verse 2

Your thumb traces patterns on the glass between us now

I keep my eyes locked soft because the truth might break the vow

The streetlight outside flickers blue then gold then blue again

We both know we're not the kind of people who say it, but we mean

Pre-Chorus

So tell me, why are you standing so close now?

Is it the whiskey or is this how it always goes down?

Hands still moving like we know what to say

Say it soft but mean it anyway

Chorus

Slow burn in grey light, skin on a borrowed seat

Slow burn in grey light, I can feel you learning my beat

Nobody's watching so don't pretend you're brave

Just hold the silence for one more wave

Bridge

Maybe we were always gonna end up like this —

Half asleep, half awake and missing something this.

But right now your palm still warm on mine feels true

Not a promise kept but it feels true

Chorus

Slow burn in grey light, skin on a borrowed seat

Slow burn in grey light, I can feel you learning my beat

Nobody's watching so don't pretend you're brave

Just hold the silence for one more wave
