Slow Fire Burning 5

Verse

Bare feet on the dashboard, window down slow

Dust in my hair from the porch we don't own

You said your dad left you his old guitar

Told me that's all he ever gave before we lost him

I plugged it in out back and sang like it mattered

Didn't know how loud till the whole block came closer

Chorus

Now I got a slow fire burning down my spine

Fingers pressed on yours, counting every line

Tell me you feel it too or this is just a song we don't sing twice

I'm burning out of patience and turning into light

Verse

You took my hand on the corner of Main Street

Said I got a voice but nobody ever taught it to stay

You hummed along under your breath tonight

Caught you laughing so hard it woke up the whole block tonight

Four years younger but you teach me how to dream slow

I was built for leaving but now I'm choosing this over home

Chorus

Now I got a slow fire burning down my spine

Fingers pressed on yours, counting every line

Tell me you feel it too or this is just a song we don't sing twice

I'm burning out of patience and turning into light

Bridge

Maybe we both built walls to keep the world from touching us soft

But now I'm knocking yours down with my open palm like this

If tomorrow comes and takes what we got tonight

Just say you felt it too, that's all I'm asking for

Chorus

Now I got a slow fire burning down my spine

Fingers pressed on yours, counting every line

Tell me you feel it too or this is just a song we don't sing twice

I'm burning out of patience and turning into light
