[Verse 1]
The room forgot to breathe
Crystal held the light
Every whispered conversation
Slipped away from sight
One hand on the banister
Moonlight in your sleeve
Every polished inch of oak
Seemed reluctant to let you leave
[Pre-Chorus]
Every eye forgot to wander
Every voice grew small
Time became a living thing
Hanging in the hall
[Chorus]
Slow upon the stairs
Like a secret flame
Every heart inside the room
Forgot the world by name
More than it had been
Before you crossed the light
You made the whole room
Look new tonight
[Verse 2]
The hem became an ocean
Rolling at your feet
Even marble seemed to soften
Under every beat
I forgot my glass
I forgot my friends
All I knew was wonder
Watching your descent
[Pre-Chorus]
Every heartbeat slowed
Every breath stood still
Even all the waiting silence
Bent to your quiet will
[Chorus]
Slow upon the stairs
Like a secret flame
Every heart inside the room
Forgot the world by name
More than it had been
Before you crossed the light
You made the whole room
Look new tonight
[Bridge]
If time could lose its hands
I’d ask it not to move
Let this single breath become
All I ever knew
Let the music linger
Let the night grow deep
Some moments ask for nothing
Except one more heartbeat
[Final Chorus]
Slow upon the stairs
Like a secret flame
Every heart inside the room
Forgot the world by name
More than it had been
Before you crossed the light
You made the whole room
Look new tonight
Slow upon the stairs
Like a whispered prayer
Some kinds of beauty
Simply fill the air
