[Intro: low strings slowly rising, heartbeat kick, whispered close-mic vocal] You always kiss me like you’re leaving… [Verse 1] You lean in slow like you’re hiding something I kiss you back like I don’t see it You pull me close like a bad idea Like heaven only wants us here one more hour You say my name like a warning sign Fingers shaking at my waistline Everybody says we’re gonna burn Maybe that’s why it hurts so good [Pre-Chorus: tension building, strings rising] Don’t slow down now We’re already too far gone If tonight’s the last time I don’t wanna feel you letting go [Chorus: drums widen, strings swell] If this kills me, kiss me slower Drag the night across my shoulders Hold me like you mean forever Even if we know it’s over If this is our last time breathing Don’t say goodbye, just lean in If this is our last kiss Then let me die from it [Post-Chorus: stripped back] Ah-ah… let me die from it Ah-ah… kiss me slower [Verse 2: darker, emotionally unstable] Hotel lights all over your skin You kiss me different when you know it’s ending We make tragedy feel glamorous We make bad habits look expensive Your love hits like a car crash slow Beautiful right before it explodes I should run but I pull you closer Like I wanna wear the damage home [Pre-Chorus] Don’t slow down now We’re already too far gone If tonight’s the last time I don’t wanna feel you letting go [Chorus] If this kills me, kiss me slower Drag the night across my shoulders Hold me like you mean forever Even if we know it’s over If this is our last time breathing Don’t say goodbye, just lean in If this is our last kiss Then let me die from it [Bridge: drums drop out, vocal intimate and nearly spoken, strings swelling underneath] You only touch me soft when you’re guilty Maybe love was always meant To ruin girls like us Maybe that’s why your hands Feel so much like heaven Right before the fall So if you’re leaving Leave your lips on mine [Final Chorus: biggest drums, layered vocals, dramatic strings] If you’re gonna kill me Kiss me slower Drag the night across my shoulders Hold me like you mean forever Even if we know it’s over If this is our last time breathing Don’t say goodbye, just lean in If this is our last kiss Then let me die from it [Outro: strings fading, breathy vocal] Kiss me slower… Slower… Let me die from it 🤍
