Slow Burn

Your coat is hanging by the door

The ice has melted in your glass

You check the time,

then look at me

Like neither of us wants to ask

The room is quieter than before The record turns,

the needle stays

We said we'd leave before it got late

Now neither one of us moves away

No promises No making sense

Just give me three more minutes

Stay for one more song

We don't have to talk Let the room keep spinning Till the

music stops Stay for one more song Don't reach for the light

We don't have to save this Just don't leave tonight One more

song

One more song

That's all I want

Your ride is waiting down the street

You let the phone ring twice,

then stop

I laugh and pour what's left for us

You put your keys back on the top

Maybe tomorrow changes things Maybe we wake up feeling clear But right

now all I really know

Is I still want you standing here No promises No second guess

Just give me three more minutes

Turn it up A little more Turn it

up Don't touch

the door

Your car is downstairs

The sky's turning blue

I know what comes next

So do you

But the needle drops

And for three minutes more

Nobody leaves

Stay for one more song Even if it's wrong Let the morning

find us With the record on Stay for one more song

No need to pretend I don't need forever I just don't want

this to end One more song

One more song Then you can go

The record stops. Neither of us moves.
