[Verse 1] Your coat hung on my chair Like a question in the air You said, “I’m not in a rush” I said, “Good, I like that touch” You traced the rim of glass Like you knew the night would pass I was all sharp edges then You were patient as a friend [Pre-Chorus] And every word you let me keep Went deeper than it ought to I heard my guarded heart Start leaning into you [Chorus] Slow romance Take your time Slow romance You’re still mine We rise, we fall We don’t break Slow romance Is the way I wake (Slow romance) (Oh, slow romance) [Verse 2] Now the room knows our names From the way we leave our stains Two half-smiles and a stare Like a secret we both wear I was built on running fast You were standing with the past But your hands, they held me still Like a promise, like a will [Pre-Chorus] And every doubt I used to feed Got quiet in your shadow I found a softer kind of strength In the long way we go [Chorus] Slow romance Take your time Slow romance You’re still mine We rise, we fall We don’t break Slow romance Is the way I wake (Slow romance) (Oh, slow romance) [Bridge] I used to leave at the first sign Of anything that felt like mine Now I stay when the rain begins And let the whole thing sink in If love is a door left open Then baby, let it swing I don’t need a grand parade Just your name in the morning ring [Chorus] Slow romance Take your time Slow romance You’re still mine We rise, we fall We don’t break Slow romance Is the way I wake (Slow romance) (Oh, slow romance) (Slow romance)
