Sinking Slow in Stereo (Version 2)

Verse

Four o'clock in the room downstairs

Coffee's gone cold where my cup was raised

Speaker hums low through the floorboards above

I'm not leaving till this record's done with love

Bassline drags me deeper into the haze

Chords hold long like they don't want to end this phase

Window blinds cut stripes across the wall

Sunset's waiting on whatever's gonna come last of all

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing, soft and slow

Something in my chest I never let go

Maybe staying still is how we stay alive

So I'm holding right here where the music keeps us warm

Chorus

Sinking slow in stereo

Feet don't move but I feel it grow

Hands up high, the room turns gold

I was running somewhere else a while ago

Verse 2

Neighborhood lights blinking one by one

Someone's radio down the block just started singing too

Half the band is late but nobody's stressing tonight

We're floating on this chorus till the sky forgets what time it's got

Stranger turns around and catches my eyes like a signal

The whole room stops when your voice lands on a single word I've missed for years

Now the bassline's pulling both our chairs right through the floor

I don't need tomorrow, just this four-four pulse some more

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing, soft and slow

Something in my chest I never let go

Maybe staying still is how we stay alive

So I'm holding right here where the music keeps us warm

Chorus

Sinking slow in stereo

Feet don't move but I feel it grow

Hands up high, the room turns gold

I was running somewhere else a while ago

Bridge

Maybe every sunset's just another door

Might be this one's been waiting right here on the floor

No watch to check, no reason to go fast

Just you and me and whatever light this song can cast

Chorus

Sinking slow in stereo

Feet don't move but I feel it grow

Hands up high, the room turns gold

I was running somewhere else a while ago
