**[Verse 1]** Turn the lantern low to embers Ivy up the window frame Keep the hush before the thunder Just a whisper in the rain Ain't a soul for miles around Just a murmur, soft and round Sad girl leans in like a secret Says, "You always let me down" **[Chorus]** Run it low, keep it slow Let me go but keep me close Run it low, let it grow Whisper my name, let the feeling show If that door swings shut, I already know I loved you first, I still let it show **[Verse 2]** Call me through the smoke-black pines Half a world of stalled-out skies Honey on the edge of your exhale Backseat kingdom, no goodbyes She left home like weather leaves Took the heat out of the sheets Left her words like ash on wool Now the stars feel second-hand **[Chorus]** Run it low, keep it slow Let me go but keep me close Run it low, let it grow Whisper my name, let the feeling show If that door swings shut, I already know I loved you first, I still let it show **[Bridge]** You keep swearing I'm the one but your voice falls to a wire I can hear you in the static like you're coming through the quiet My palm's pale on the latch your name a coal I hold One more breath, one more heartbeat don't let it go cold **[Chorus]** Run it low, keep it slow Let me go but keep me close Run it low, let it grow Whisper my name, let the feeling show If that door swings shut, I already know I loved you first, and now I let you go No more calling my name through the wall That was the last one, that was all Run it low, run it low
