Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Franklyn humming in the kitchen Old shirt Sleeves half rolled Elizabeth laughing at the doorway Coffee going cold Little crack in the morning window Rain on the rusted gate Two chipped cups on the table Showing up late [Chorus] Franklyn & Elizabeth Slow dance in a small room Turning this tiny life Into a living tune Every soft yes Every deep breath Every fight they both outgrew Franklyn & Elizabeth Learning how to stay true [Verse 2] Mutaki writing on a napkin Numbers Dreams Cheap pen ink Barassa circling her deadlines Eyes say what she can’t speak Bus stop breeze in the evening Her head on his shoulder bone City noise blurring to silence Like they’re already home [Chorus] Franklyn & Elizabeth Slow dance in a small room Turning this tiny life Into a living tune Every soft yes Every deep breath Every fight they both outgrew Franklyn & Elizabeth Learning how to stay true [Bridge] [Trumpet drifts in Distant and warm] He says “I’m not good with promises” She smiles “just wash the plates” They laugh so hard at nothing Time loves moments like these waits [Chorus] Franklyn & Elizabeth Slow dance in a small room Turning this tiny life Into a living tune Every soft yes Every deep breath Every road they’re walking through Franklyn & Elizabeth I’ll bet on the two of you

Gentle guitar comping, brushed snare, and a late-song trumpet line that blooms in the bridge as the groove deepens then settles back into a hush., jazz, lo-fi, blues
