[Verse 1] You came in slow Like a silk fan opening Across my little table And shook the room Your laugh had pearls In the rim of the glass I kept my hands still But my heart made room [Pre-Chorus] We talked in circles Round the sugar bowl Your eyes said stay a while My pulse said hold And every minute Wore a finer face Like some old song Finding grace [Chorus] Slow burn, baby Take your time Slow burn, baby Stay in line One small touch And I’m undone Slow burn, baby We’re just begun [Verse 2] You brushed my sleeve When the waiter passed And I felt that moment Move too fast The band kept smiling In a honeyed haze While your name on my tongue Changed the shape of the day [Pre-Chorus] No rush, no flood Just a velvet tide You leaned a little closer I let that glide And every second Turned to gold A quiet fire In the cold [Chorus] Slow burn, baby Take your time Slow burn, baby Stay in line One small touch And I’m undone Slow burn, baby We’re just begun [Bridge] Maybe love don’t kick the door Maybe it just slips in Shoes by the mat And a grin Maybe all this aching sweet Is how forever starts With two shy hands And open hearts [Chorus] Slow burn, baby Take your time Slow burn, baby Stay in line One small touch And I’m undone Slow burn, baby We’re just begun [Outro] So let the night lean in Let the saxophone cry I’ll meet you there Under a kinder sky Slow burn, baby Slow burn, baby
