Sinking Slow

Verse

Sixteen summers spent on your mother's porch swing

Salt in the cuticles from a whole day of singing

Radio static was our favorite kind of song

We'd rewrite every lyric into something that belonged to us alone

Pre-Chorus

You'd laugh so hard at something silly I said

Whole house would shake with the way it got in your head

Nobody ever left till the fireflies quit shining

That's how we learned that love was always already winning

Chorus

Sinking slow into a warm tide of gold

Every little piece of you keeps getting closer than I'm told

I don't need forever, I just need this right now

So let me sink slow into your arms, into your eyes, into your sound

Verse

Your old truck broke down on the county line twice

You walked both miles back home with a goofy grin and pride

We stole a blanket off my grandmother's bedspread

Made a whole picnic out of nothing you already had

Pre-Chorus

You'd laugh so hard at something silly I said

Whole house would shake with the way it got in your head

Nobody ever left till the fireflies quit shining

That's how we learned that love was always already winning

Chorus

Sinking slow into a warm tide of gold

Every little piece of you keeps getting closer than I'm told

I don't need forever, I just need this right now

So let me sink slow into your arms, into your eyes, into your sound

Bridge

Twenty years down the line we'll still be dancing like that

Hands up high like it's summer and it never gonna end

Maybe I'm scared of growing up and losing what we had

But with you next to me, I feel brave enough to take it all on

Chorus

Sinking slow into a warm tide of gold

Every little piece of you keeps getting closer than I'm told

I don't need forever, I just need this right now

So let me sink slow into your arms, into your eyes, into your sound
