Slow Burn (Version 3)

Verse

Yellow bulb flickers over the couch cushion

Your thumb draws circles on my collarbone

No clock ticking where you keep your watch tonight

Just the hum of the speakers holding low

Pre-Chorus

Every little breath gets quieter now

The whole room leans in, and I don't know how

Is it the song or is it your hand

Either way, I'm right where I should stand

Chorus

We burn slow, we don't need the flame

Just a spark on your collarbone, just your name

Skin gets warm under this gold light

Slow burn, holding all night

Verse

Streetlight bleeds through the blinds in shades of green

Your palm finds mine and pulls it back to heat

Nothing's rushing when we match the beat

One more hour before the ceiling turns pale

Pre-Chorus

Every little breath gets quieter now

The whole room leans in, and I don't know how

Is it the song or is it your hand

Either way, I'm right where I should stand

Chorus

We burn slow, we don't need the flame

Just a spark on your collarbone, just your name

Skin gets warm under this gold light

Slow burn, holding all night

Bridge

Maybe fast is cool, maybe it's mine to chase

But this feels like the only pace that makes me stay

No ticking clock, no deadline to meet

Just your pulse under my fingers, steady and sweet

Chorus

We burn slow, we don't need the flame

Just a spark on your collarbone, just your name

Skin gets warm under this gold light

Slow burn, holding all night
