Lyric

Lost for words beneath your heavy shadow, Eaten by my youth, tangled in the flaws. A soul adrift, with worth slowly fading, Bound right up by my own rigid laws

But standing there, baby, I saw it clearly: A silent sorrow in those vacant eyes. The same old blues were hanging near him, Where the cold doubt and the quiet judgment lies

A tender contract, whispered from above, A mission meant just for you and me. I put up walls so the shame wouldn't seep out, But the slow, slow-burning fire we set free It melted all the harsh truths of what we believed. And somehow, darlin', we worked it through

When the world went dark, we just traded secrets, Spoke in tones so measured and so low. Our bond? Not a flash flood, no, just a gentle pace, Like smooth stones where the calm waters flow

No sudden rush, no cheap fleeting thrill, Just a steady, constant, velvet groove. Beneath the skies of crushing gray, we held dear That rhythm that kept our weary hearts sweet

A tender contract, whispered from above, A mission meant just for you and me, yeah. I put up walls so the shame wouldn't seep out, But the slow, slow-burning fire we set free It melted all the harsh truths of what we believed. And somehow, darlin', we worked it through
