[Verse 1]
If the day runs heavy
You bring the calm face
I keep my hands steady
At the edge of the place
Sidewalk dust on your shoes
A small bruise on the moon
You look straight through the noise
Like you already knew

[Pre-Chorus]
I bring the time
You bring the breath
Count it down slow
No need to rush yet
One little sign
One shared spark
We turn the latch
In the dark

[Chorus]
Nice and slow
Nice and slow (nice and slow)
Three names, one doorway
And we go
Nice and slow
Nice and slow (nice and slow)
If you hold that look
I’ll let it show

[Verse 2]
Your coat on the chair
My keys in my palm
The room got quiet
Like it heard your calm
Three names on the paper
Folded in light
We don’t need a reason
We just get it right

[Pre-Chorus]
I bring the time
You bring the breath
Count it down slow
No need to rush yet
One little sign
One shared spark
We turn the latch
In the dark

[Chorus]
Nice and slow
Nice and slow (nice and slow)
Three names, one doorway
And we go
Nice and slow
Nice and slow (nice and slow)
If you hold that look
I’ll let it show

[Bridge]
[tape-stop]
Say it once
Then smile
Three names
One mile
We step in
Side by side
No hard lines
Just the glide

[Final Chorus]
Nice and slow
Nice and slow (nice and slow)
Three names, one doorway
And we go
Nice and slow
Nice and slow (nice and slow)
If you hold that look
I’ll let it show
