[INTRO — SLOW, SMOLDERING COUNTRY-SOUL] [PEDAL STEEL — SMOKY SAX — SPARSE TELE] [VERSE 1] There's a spark in the way you're watching me, Like an ember under your smile. You've been dancing around what you're thinking about, And I've known it for quite a while. You don't need shooting stars, don't need lightning in jars, Don't need thunder to shake up the room. You want heat that stays, Something taking its time— Baby, I can burn all night with you. [CHORUS] Let me give you a slow burn, Let me kindle it low and deep. A little closer with every breath, A little promise we're gonna keep. No racing the flame, no lessons to learn, Just lean into me and let it slow burn. [VERSE 2] There's a glow on your skin as you're pulling me in, And the whole world is fading away. We got nowhere to go, so we'll take it real slow, Let the night find its own way to day. Let the clock turn around, let the walls tumble down, We got nothing to prove anymore. Keep the fire down low, give it somewhere to grow— That's what all of this waiting is for. [CHORUS] Let me give you a slow burn, Let it smolder and take its time. A little closer with every breath, Your heartbeat falling into mine. No chasing the flame, no bridges to burn, Just stay here with me and let it slow burn. [INSTRUMENTAL — STEEL + SMOKY SAX] [STEEL AND SAX TRADE SLOW PHRASES] [LAZY SNARE BEHIND GROOVE] [FINAL CHORUS] Let me give you a slow burn, Something steady that stays all night. No flash in the pan, no hurry at all, Just enough heat to hold you tight. Some fires explode— Some never return— [DROP — NEAR-SPOKEN] But the sweetest kind of fire Takes its time to burn. [SAX ANSWER] Slow burn... [PEDAL STEEL SWELL] Nice and slow. [OUTRO — STEEL + SAX FADE]
