[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
