We Don't Have To Rush

Verse

Porch light humming, moths against the screen

Your thumb tracing circles on my knee

Two mugs of coffee going cold and neither one of us cares

Twenty-six minutes since you said my name

Like it was something you'd been saving

Pre-Chorus

So what's the hurry, what's the rush

When the quiet feels like this

Can we just stay right here in the almost, in the maybe

Chorus

We don't have to rush

Let the slow hours fill the cup

Every second's soft enough

We don't have to rush

Just your hand and just this much

Falling slow is falling too

We don't have to rush

Verse

Third week now you're leaving your jacket here

Same brown chair, same sleeve, same smell of rain

You laugh too loud at the parts that aren't even that funny

And I keep finding reasons to stay near

Water boiling, we forget the tea again

Pre-Chorus

So what's the hurry, what's the rush

When your voice does this to me

Can we just stay right here in the almost, in the maybe

Chorus

We don't have to rush

Let the slow hours fill the cup

Every second's soft enough

We don't have to rush

Just your hand and just this much

Falling slow is falling too

We don't have to rush

Bridge

Maybe fast love burns out by the morning

Maybe soft light lasts as long as the wall it's warming

I'm not scared of where this goes

I just want to know it slow

Every inch of you, unfolding

Nothing here needs holding back

Chorus

We don't have to rush

Let the slow hours fill the cup

Every second's soft enough

We don't have to rush

Just your hand and just this much

Falling slow is falling too

We don't have to rush

Outro

No we don't have to rush

Stay a while, the coffee's cold

We've got nowhere else to be
