[Verse 1]
You’re tracing circles on my hand
Like you’re learning how my heartbeat goes
Coffee on the table getting cold
We forget the time
I hope it slows
[Verse 2]
You laugh and lean into my chest
Say you’re scared of moving in too fast
I say every quiet breath with you
Feels like a place I’d like to last
[Chorus]
Stay in this slow dance
Don’t let it fade
Turn this small moment to something that stays
If it’s a dream
Then don’t wake me yet
Your head on my shoulder
My hands on your neck
Stay in this slow dance
Right where we are
Two tangled wishes under one soft star
If this is love
Then I won’t pretend
Stay in this slow dance and start again
[Verse 3]
You trace the freckles on my face
Count them softly like a secret code
I tell you every one’s a sign
Pointing me to you
To home
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] If I rush
I’ll miss the way
Your eyes change color when you’re brave
[female vocal echo] If we fall
Then let it be
Hand in hand
Not separately
[Chorus]
