Coffee stains on the counter top
Midnight radio, don’t stop
You’re leaning in but you don’t say much
Still feels like you say enough
Your fingers draw invisible lines
On the edge of what’s on my mind
Every silence feels rehearsed
Like we’ve been here in another verse
No need to rush, no need to prove
Every breath is finding its groove
In this space we never name
Nothing feels out of place
There’s a slow between us
In the way we move and pause
Not a promise, not a question
Just a feeling without cause
There’s a beat in your silence
That keeps pulling me in
I don’t know where we’re going
But I love the slow between
Neon lights outside the glass
People hurry, moments pass
But in here the time gets loose
Every second bending rules
You don’t touch, but I still feel
Every thought you never reveal
It’s that kind of almost-love
That lives right under enough
If this moment slips away
I’ll still keep how it stayed
Soft, unfinished, true
Like all the best things do
There’s a slow between us
In the words we don’t explain
Not a spark, not a heartbreak
Just a calm that feels like rain
There’s a warmth in your quiet
That keeps pulling me in
I don’t need a forever
I just need the slow between
Let the world be loud outside
We don’t have to pick a side
Every look is saying more
Than the nights I’ve known before
Hold the pause, don’t fill the air
Love feels better when it’s rare
If this is all we ever do
I’ll stay right here in the blue
There’s a slow between us
In the way your shadow leans
Not a start, not an ending
Just a space in-between
There’s a rhythm in your breathing
Matching quietly with mine
If I lose this moment later
I’ll still know it felt like time
(mm… stay right here)
(don’t rush me now)
(just let it be)
(slow… between us)
