Catching soft in the fading dark lyrics
Verse
Coals going bright in the low steel drum
Smoke curls up where the sparks first come
Your shoulder finds mine on the wooden bench
Ash on your fingers, a woodsmoke scent
Kick drum ticking like a heartbeat slow
Nobody moves till the embers glow
Pre-Chorus
Watch how the small light learns to grow
Feel how the heat climbs easy and slow
No match struck twice, no word to spend
Just breath and rhythm, start to bend
Chorus
Warm ember glowing from a spark
Catching soft in the fading dark
One small flicker, we let it spread
Warm ember glowing from a spark instead
Warm ember glowing from a spark
Warm ember glowing from a spark
Verse
Hip leans in when the bassline turns
Skin remembers the way it burns
Dust on our ankles, the fire pit wide
Shadow and firelight, side by side
Your palm on my chest keeps the counting true
Every slow pulse is a language too
Pre-Chorus
Watch how the small light learns to grow
Feel how the heat climbs easy and slow
No match struck twice, no word to spend
Just breath and rhythm, start to bend
Chorus
Warm ember glowing from a spark
Catching soft in the fading dark
One small flicker, we let it spread
Warm ember glowing from a spark instead
Warm ember glowing from a spark
Warm ember glowing from a spark
Bridge
Not every fire needs a flame to prove it
Some just hold the warmth and move it
Hand to hip and chest to chest
Nothing loud says it the best
Chorus
Warm ember glowing from a spark
Catching soft in the fading dark
One small flicker, we let it spread
Warm ember glowing from a spark instead
Warm ember glowing from a spark
Warm ember glowing from a spark
