Two steps through the haze to you (Version 2)

Verse 1

Red light hanging on a cord.

Bare heels pressed into the board.

Bass drum tapping at the bone.

Neither one of us alone.

You tilt your chin and take the space.

Gray fog drifting cross your face.

Pre-Chorus

No talk moving through the heat.

Just the weight behind your feet.

Can you read it where we stand?

Palm to pulse, and hand to hand.

Chorus

Two steps through the haze to you.

Nothing spoken, nothing new.

Body knows what bodies do.

Smoke signals in the room.

Two steps through the haze to you.

Smoke signals in the room.

Verse 2

Sweat turns silver on your neck.

Log drum rolling from the deck.

Corner dark where water drips.

Counting four counts on your hips.

You turn your shoulder, draw me near.

Every breath is settling here.

Pre-Chorus

No talk moving through the heat.

Just the weight behind your feet.

Can you read it where we stand?

Palm to pulse, and hand to hand.

Chorus

Two steps through the haze to you.

Nothing spoken, nothing new.

Body knows what bodies do.

Smoke signals in the room.

Two steps through the haze to you.

Smoke signals in the room.

Bridge

Floorboards bending underneath.

Slow air moving through our teeth.

Let the gray mist climb the wall.

We don't need a sound at all.

Chorus

Two steps through the haze to you.

Nothing spoken, nothing new.

Body knows what bodies do.

Smoke signals in the room.

Two steps through the haze to you.

Smoke signals in the room.
