Lyrics
[verse]
I keep the windows shut so nothing gets in
Wrapped myself up tight in a borrowed skin
You said you'd stay but the weather always turns
And I'm still standing here counting what it burns
[chorus]
Slow down, slow down, let the moment breathe
Nothing's ever simple, nothing's ever free
Sweet and slow and burning underneath the skin
That's the only way that love has ever been
[verse]
I used to think that softness made me weak
Now I know the quiet is the strength I seek
You taught me how to sit inside the ache
And let it move through slowly till it breaks
[chorus]
Slow down, slow down, let the moment breathe
Nothing's ever simple, nothing's ever free
Sweet and slow and burning underneath the skin
That's the only way that love has ever been
[bridge]
If it hurts a little, let it hurt a while
Some things only heal after the trial
I'm not asking for an easy way back home
Just a hand to hold when I'm not alone
[chorus]
Slow down, slow down, let the moment breathe
Nothing's ever simple, nothing's ever free
Sweet and slow and burning underneath the skin
That's the only way that love has ever been
