Slow Fire Burning

Verse

Late train humming on the platform steps

Your coat slung over my shoulder like a map to sleep

Cigarette smoke drifting slow through the tunnel air

You said goodbye but your hand stayed there

Pre-Chorus

Tell me do you feel it catch and climb

From a simple touch, one spark at a time

Nothing loud about this, nothing bold

Just a low kind of heat we both let go of

Chorus

Slow fire burning where our shoulders meet

Neither one of us can move, so we don't need to be free

Your eyes catch mine like it's the only truth

We're still moving, just slower than you and me did before

Verse

Coffee gone cold but I don't care

I'd keep this moment standing right here

You draw a circle on my wrist with your thumb

Saying stay when the whole world keeps running numb

Pre-Chorus

Tell me do you feel it catch and climb

From a simple touch, one spark at a time

Nothing loud about this, nothing bold

Just a low kind of heat we both let go of

Chorus

Slow fire burning where our shoulders meet

Neither one of us can move, so we don't need to be free

Your eyes catch mine like it's the only truth

We're still moving, just slower than you and me did before

Bridge

Maybe this is what falling feels like — warm

Not the crashing kind but a soft descent

I'd wait for hours if I knew this was how

You think about me when the world stops spinning round

Chorus

Slow fire burning where our shoulders meet

Neither one of us can move, so we don't need to be free

Your eyes catch mine like it's the only truth

We're still moving, just slower than you and me did before
