Verse 1
Paraffin flame behind dirty glass
Yellow circle on the yard grass
Your hand finds my wrist in the dark
Step into the circle, make a mark
Low log rolling through the floor
Nobody talking anymore
Bare feet shifting on the stone
Two shadows melting into one
Pre-Chorus
Feel the swing, feel the sway
Leave the words for another day
Let it pull, let it hold
Turn the red earth into gold
Chorus
Under the lanterna, we move slow
Follow the circle down low
No need to speak when the bassline knows
Under the lanterna, we let go
Verse 2
Sweat cool against your shoulder blade
Watch the pattern that the wire made
Ribs keeping time with the heavy sound
Heels deep in the packed-down ground
Kerosene burning through the air
Night breeze tangling in your hair
You lean your weight against my chest
Let the rolling rhythm do the rest
Pre-Chorus
Feel the swing, feel the sway
Leave the words for another day
Let it pull, let it hold
Turn the red earth into gold
Chorus
Under the lanterna, we move slow
Follow the circle down low
No need to speak when the bassline knows
Under the lanterna, we let go
Bridge
Glass gets warm in the midnight chill
World outside is standing still
Just the amber ring upon our skin
Where you end and I begin
Chorus
Under the lanterna, we move slow
Follow the circle down low
No need to speak when the bassline knows
Under the lanterna, we let go
