Slow Burn

Velvet hands, pullin’ me under

Smoke in your voice, whisperin’ thunder

You say my name like a loaded sin

And I go quiet — I let you in

Skin on fire, but the room is cold

You touch my heart like you already know

I shouldn’t stay —

But I don’t go

⸻

I’m in a slow burn, baby, feel me fade

Drippin’ in the dark, can’t find my way

You’re a tidal wave I can’t escape

Drownin’ in you — and I wanna stay

You got a grip like nothin’s fair

Your kiss is war, but I don’t care

Lose my breath when you pull my hair

Drownin’ in you — and I’m still there

⸻

No light now, just silhouettes

You haunt my skin like a silhouette

Your love is pain, and I like the taste

Can’t come up — don’t make me wake

⸻

You play my body like a song

Low and slow, then it’s gone

I know you’re wrong —

But damn, it’s strong

⸻

I’m in a slow burn, baby, feel me fade

Drippin’ in the dark, can’t find my way

You’re a tidal wave I can’t escape

Drownin’ in you — and I wanna stay

You got a grip like nothin’s fair

Your kiss is war, but I don’t care

Lose my breath when you pull my hair

Drownin’ in you — and I’m still there

⸻

(I let you pull me down again)

(You wrap me up like oxygen)

(And even if I never swim…)

I’ll keep fallin’ back in

⸻

Slow burn, baby, I can’t breathe

But you feel like heaven under me

Tidal wave, no guarantee

But I’ll drown in you —

If you let me
