This song has taken a lot to get out. Going through the lyrics over and over, trying to find the right beat for it as well. Hope everyone likes and comments. Thank you 🫰 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 The world turns slowly Three hundred sixty‑five days a year round the sun Candles on a kitchen cake Another year gone Another begun Phone light on my tired face Old photos I forgot I saved Every smile a little ghost Every ghost a chance I never gave [Chorus] The world turns slowly But it’s faster than it feels right now We are here Then we’re only the Names in someone’s fading background So fill your lungs With salty air and crowded rooms The world turns slowly But it won’t wait for you [Verse 2] One road Always drove it straight Never saw the ocean past the town Mountains in a picture frame When did I stop chasing higher ground? Stranger on a subway seat Told me how he left and started new I wrote his story on a napkin Promised I would change me too [Chorus] The world turns slowly But it’s faster than it feels right now We are here Then we’re only Names in someone’s fading background So fill your lungs With salty air and crowded rooms The world turns slowly But it won’t wait for you [Bridge] See the ocean Taste the wind Let it sting your skin awake Climb a ridge Touch the clouds Feel your careful habits shake Learn a word in a different tongue Laugh with someone you just met Hold a moment in your hands Like it’s all you’ll ever get [Chorus] The world turns slowly But it’s faster than it feels right now We are here Then we’re only Names in someone’s fading background So fill your lungs With salty air and crowded rooms The world turns slowly But it won’t wait for you
