Sugar on the Sidewalk

Met you by the corner store

Sweats

Slides

Hair tied

Nothing more

You laughed

Said

“This ain’t my look”

But you stopped my whole day in its tracks

I was shook

I’ve been chasing one-night thrills

You’re that Sunday kind of chill

Now my heartbeat won’t align

With my usual kind of time

You’re sugar on the sidewalk

I’m stuck

Every little step

I’m caught in your rush

Moving in slow motion

Bodies in a crush

High-speed world

But we touch in slow hush

Sugar on the sidewalk

So sweet

Let the night run wild

You can set that speed

Turn my fast life down

Let your love lead

High energy heart

Slow jam in the sheets (oh yeah)

Talking in the back of the Lyft

City rolling by

But you’re the gift

You read my old scars like a map

Then you traced every line with your hand in my lap

You said

“Boy

You run too fast

Have you ever tried to make a moment last?”

Now my pulse keeps sync with you

Every breath a different groove

You’re sugar on the sidewalk

I’m stuck

Every little step

I’m caught in your rush

Moving in slow motion

Bodies in a crush

High-speed world

But we touch in slow hush

Sugar on the sidewalk

So sweet

Let the night run wild

You can set that speed

Turn my fast life down

Let your love lead

High energy heart

Slow jam in the sheets (hey!)

We don’t need a plan tonight

Just your hands on mine

That’s right

Let them talk

Let them pass us by

We’ll be dancing in a whisper

Eye to eye

You’re sugar on the sidewalk

I’m stuck

Every little step

I’m caught in your rush

Moving in slow motion

Bodies in a crush

High-speed world

But we touch in slow hush

Sugar on the sidewalk

So sweet

Let the night run wild

You can set that speed

Turn my fast life down

Let your love lead

High energy heart

Slow jam in the sheets
