In “Slow Dance”, the melancholic fourth track on Charm, Clairo questions why her lover is so uncertain of their relationship and why her lover seems to turn to other people for love after her.
[Intro]
Dum, dum
Dum, dum
[Verse 1]
When the moon begins to hide
It's not over
And the window turnin' light
Does not mean goodbye
[Chorus]
And, too, when candles burn out
And the record is faded down
I know you've got people to turn to
And, too, when candles burn out
And the record is faded down
I know you've got people to turn to
[Refrain]
What is it that's keeping one foot out
And the other crawling in bed?
And what is it that's keeping you alone
And leaving after we slow dance?
[Verse 2]
And we fall back in routine
It can't be over
And I remember everything
You used to know her
I could trace it all the way back
I could trace it all the way back
[Chorus]
And, too, when candles burn out
And the record is faded down
I know you've got people to turn to
And, too, when candles burn out
And the record is faded down
I know you've got people to turn to
[Refrain]
What is it that's keeping one foot out
And the other crawling in bed?
And what is it that's keeping you alone
And leaving after we slow dance?
[Chorus]
And, too, when candles burn out
And the record is faded down
I know you've got people to turn to
And, too, when candles burn out
And the record is faded down
I know you've got people to turn to
