One day the music’s gonna stop

[Verse 1] Your hands aren’t steady when you pour the tea Your knees complain about the coming freeze But you still save the corner of the couch for me And I still trace the lines your smile leaves [Pre-Chorus] We don’t talk as much as we used to do But silence never felt like something new [Chorus] We’re not the wildfire, we’re the ember glow Not the river rapids—the quiet undertow The world keeps spinning fast, but we don’t have to race We’re just two old souls in the same slow dance Holding on, holding on To the same slow dance [Verse 2] Your hair is snow, mine’s falling out in clumps You misplace keys, I call you by the dog’s name But when the night pulls in and the heating pumps I’d still get lost inside your eyes the same [Pre-Chorus] They say youth is lightning, wild and bright But we’re the northern stars that outlast the night [Chorus] [Bridge] One day the music’s gonna stop, we know One of us will have to let go But ’til the needle lifts off the vinyl groove My hand is yours—what else we got to lose? [Outro (spoken/sung softly)] Let’s leave the porch light on… Move real slow… That’s the same dance we’ve always known. Just older now. Still holding now.
