Slow Burn

Lyrics You lit the candle, I held the flame Tiptoe steps in a grown-up game Nervous laughter, a sideways glance Learning the rhythm of a second chance I said “go slow,” You said “I know” Trust is a dance, not a one-man show It’s a slow burn, baby, not a firework spark We’re finding the groove in the shadows and dark No shame in the stumble, no rush to the end Just a new kind of love with a curious bend Velvet caution, heartbeat loud We’re writing the rules, not chasing the crowd Every breath a little braver than the last Every laugh a signal that the fear has passed We’re not breaking, we’re bending We’re not hiding, we’re mending It’s tender, it’s bold It’s a story retold In the hush of the night Where the brave hearts unfold It’s a slow burn, baby, not a firework spark We’re finding the groove in the shadows and dark No shame in the stumble, no rush to the end Just a new kind of love with a curious bend Velvet caution, heartbeat loud We’re writing the rules, not chasing the crowd Every breath a little braver than the last Every laugh a signal that the fear has passed We’re not breaking, we’re bending We’re not hiding, we’re mending It’s tender, it’s bold It’s a story retold In the hush of the night Where the brave hearts unfold
