slowly Lyrics

On the knife of a cold night

As we cut the street in two

Like the moon, you stand perfectly

Out a window, through the trees

Just for me to view

I'm a modern kind of man

I can be in 3 places at once

I won't turn it off

Maybe look at 3 faces at once

Maybe hold 3 embraces at once

I can't turn it off

I turn when you draw on your cigarette

Would I hurt myself in front of you

While you look at me with eyes that I cannot explain

Oh, you don't dislike me

And I don't know what to say

Now I cough violently

I don't mind because I know

The smoke I breathe was yours

Just moments ago

You could wear me on your hand

Oh, I'll doze off to your voice

But how many nights will it take

For me to see you

Pressing that flame into my palm

Was it so simple all along

Love me

Just, slowly
