[Verse 1] You wrote my name On the back of your hand Like you meant to keep it Black shirt, gold chain Little tilt of your mouth And I felt you speaking The room went still When you stepped that close Like you already knew me I said, “be brave” You said, “say less” Then you looked right through me [Pre-Chorus] Slow down Don’t rush this moment Let it burn Let it show You got that way Of turning silence Into something I can hold [Chorus] Poetic intentions Poetic intentions Say it with your hands Say it with your hands Poetic intentions Poetic intentions You don’t have to tell me I can understand [Verse 2] Red wine stain On the edge of my smile From one little touch Your fingertips On the back of my neck Said more than enough I like the way You make a promise Without making noise You pull me in Like a line in a poem I don’t wanna avoid [Pre-Chorus] Slow down Don’t rush this moment Let it burn Let it show You got that way Of turning silence Into something I can hold [Chorus] Poetic intentions Poetic intentions Say it with your hands Say it with your hands Poetic intentions Poetic intentions You don’t have to tell me I can understand [Bridge] Write me soft Then pull me closer Trace the edge Of my restraint If this is a fire Let it be deliberate Let it leave a pretty stain [Final Chorus] Poetic intentions Poetic intentions Say it with your hands Say it with your hands Poetic intentions Poetic intentions You don’t have to tell me I can understand
