Lyric

Lost for words beneath your shadow, My youth and flaws just eating me away. Soul feels lost, worth is slowly fading, Bound by rules I made yesterday

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

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

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

No rush now, no cheap thrill needed, Just a steady, constant, dynamite groove. Beneath the skies of crushing gray, we kept hold That rhythm that made our weary hearts sweet

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