[Intro | Rhodes and sax, ocean breeze, kick eases in] [Verse 1] Put the phone down in the sand Pour the wine, take my hand No more faster, no more more Just the waves on the shore [Pre-Chorus] Watch the sun take its time Nothing here to optimize [Chorus] Slow, slow, take it slow The long way home is the way to go Hold the page, let the daylight go Slow, my darling, take it slow (Take it slow, take it slow) Slow, my darling, take it slow [Verse 2] Read me something old tonight Something true by candlelight Let the world keep spinning fast We'll be the ones who get to last [Pre-Chorus] Watch the sun take its time Nothing here to optimize [Chorus] Slow, slow, take it slow The long way home is the way to go Hold the page, let the daylight go Slow, my darling, take it slow (Take it slow, take it slow) Slow, my darling, take it slow [Bridge | strip to sax and voice] We don't need the painted blue The sky is real, and so are you No pill, no screen, no perfect day — Just this, and that's okay [Final Chorus | choir hums in, warm and full] Slow, slow, take it slow We found the realest thing we know Some sweet evenings all day long — And this time, nothing's wrong (Nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong) Slow, my darling... all day long [Outro | groove withdraws, sax breathes, long natural decay to silence] All day long... all day long... [Cold peaceful ending]
