“Slow Fire” lyrics

Put that slow
Slow fire on me
Turn the lamplit window gold
Put that slow fire on me
Don't let the moment go

You move like midnight leaning on my door
Soft talk, clean shoes, trouble on the floor
Candle on the dresser painting shadows slow
Your bracelet catching amber in the lamplight glow
I don't need a promise made too loud
Just your hand steady when the lights go down

Take your time, don't spill the feeling
Let it rise, ceiling to ceiling
If you know how to hold me right
Make the whole room breathe tonight

Put that slow fire on me
Turn the lamplit window gold
Put that slow fire on me
Don't let the moment go
I don't want thunder, I want heat
Close enough to hear you breathe
Put that slow fire on me
Slow fire on me

Your laugh got rhythm, my name got wings
We make quiet sound like expensive things
Two glasses sweating on the window sill
The city noise below us going still
The wreck is spinning down the last slow groove
And I still don't want to move

Right when the needle hit the quiet part
So when this record ends, stay in the room
Turn me over, play the second heart

Put that slow fire on me
Turn the lamplit window gold
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Put that slow fire on me
You stay, so now I know
Slow fire on me
Slow
Slow fire on me
Slow
Slow fire on me

Slow fire on me
Slow fire on me
