Slow in your eyes

Verse

Candle flickers where the sun used to be

Sweat on your collarbone, your chest still breathing free

Your eyes hold a secret that I'm not allowed to see

Coffee gone cold in my cup, we sit and don't speak

Every moment feels like it's been stolen from our wake

Fingers find mine by accident

You take them back, but the touch stays on me

Pre-Chorus

What's happening here that makes time stand still?

Is this just the quiet before the morning light or something more?

Can I hold onto this feeling long enough to make it last tonight?

Chorus

Slow in your eyes

Slow in your eyes

I get lost where you don't pull me back into time

Slow in your eyes

Slow in your eyes

This is the only thing that feels like home, and it's not a line

Verse

The record skips on the turntable, static in my ear

Your hand finds mine again, this time I keep it there

Bare feet on the counter, dust from your shoes on my skin

We laugh at nothing, and the sound of it feels like we're winning

Cigarette smoke curls up to the ceiling fan

Every minute stretches out till it's almost a life sentence

Your eyes hold that same soft look I've been chasing all night

I'm not ready for tomorrow to come knocking on this door

Pre-Chorus

What's happening here that makes time stand still?

Is this just the quiet before the morning light or something more?

Can I hold onto this feeling long enough to make it last tonight?

Chorus

Slow in your eyes

Slow in your eyes

I get lost where you don't pull me back into time

Slow in your eyes

Slow in your eyes

This is the only thing that feels like home, and it's not a line

Bridge

Maybe this isn't something we can keep

Maybe this just happens once and then we wake

But for now, let's hold onto every second of this break

Cause even if it never comes again

I don't want to be awake.

Chorus

Slow in your eyes

Slow in your eyes

I get lost where you don't pull me back into time

Slow in your eyes

Slow in your eyes

This is the only thing that feels like home, and it's not a line
