Slow Burn With You

[intro]
Yeah... one whole year, baby
Still smell that perfume on my collar

[verse]
Takeout boxes on the counter, candles burned down low
You fell asleep to that record, same one from a year ago
I kept the movie stub in my wallet, ink's half-faded now
Twelve months of your dishes stacked with mine somehow

[pre-chorus]
I ain't good with speeches, you know how I do
But when you laugh like that, I can't find the room

[chorus]
One year deep and I still get nervous when you walk in
Still save you the good side of the bed, still let the wine breathe
Ain't no fireworks, just a slow burn, that's the truth
Three hundred and sixty-five nights I chose you

[verse]
Your mom called at eleven just to say we look good together
My friends stopped placing bets, they finally got the memo
We fight over the thermostat, make up by the second verse
Every Friday we cook something we can't pronounce

[chorus]
One year deep and I still get nervous when you walk in
Still save you the good side of the bed, still let the wine breathe
Ain't no fireworks, just a slow burn, that's the truth
Three hundred and sixty-five nights I chose you

[bridge]
They said the spark fades by the winter
But you keep a flame I don't have to tend
Grown folks love, no games, no pretenders
Just your hand in mine at the day's end

[chorus]
One year deep and I still get nervous when you walk in
Still save you the good side of the bed, still let the wine breathe
Ain't no fireworks, just a slow burn, that's the truth
Three hundred and sixty-five nights I chose you

[outro]
Happy anniversary, baby
Here's to sixty more of these
Slow burn... with you
