slow burn

We speak in fragments
But I'd still love you there
We stand in silence
The play and the static

I've heard from friends
That you're taking your time
And it's just better off that way
But you always knew the right thing to say

Suddenly it's over
Now I'm feeling sober
Took a million tries to say hello
Started moving slower
Everything is colder
Takes a silly girl to call first
Wanna believe that tryna' be heard
It is the greatest thing to do
But it's a slow burn
Getting back to you

I couldn't really say
If I knew during
I'd miss it now
But I know there is romance in looking back
We were younger
In those days

Suddenly it's over
Now I'm feeling sober
Took a million tries to say hello
Started moving slower
Everything is colder
Takes a silly girl to call first
Wanna believe that tryna’ be heard
It is the greatest thing to do
But it’s a slow burn
Getting back to you

We will go back
We will find out
What it is
Do you know
What it is

I know nothing (We were just kids)
We know nothing (We were just kids)
I know nothing (We were just kids)
We know nothing (We were just kids)
I know nothing (We were just kids)
We know nothing

Suddenly it's over
Now I'm feeling sober
Took a million tries to say hello
Started moving slower
Everything is colder
Takes a silly girl to call first
Wanna believe that tryna' be heard
It is the greatest thing to do
But it's a slow burn
Getting back to you
