Lyrics · The Blue Habano Vol. 3: Smoke in Her Hair · Track 10

Slow Like This

Ashes, Rye & Cedar · All Smoke in Her Hair lyrics

Verse

Don't speed it up, I didn't come for that
The good part lives in the delay
Let the ice melt. Let the story wander
Let the smoke decide what we say

Verse

Men get nervous in a unhurried room
They fill it with a plan or a joke
I let the quiet sit on the table
Till it feels like a hand on a coat

Chorus

Slow like this, that's the whole invitation
No fireworks, no big confession
Just a woman and a glass and a coal going easy
And a night that don't need a lesson

Verse

If you can't sit still you can go on home
I won't make it a hurt or a test
Some people only know how to want a ending
I came to want the rest

Bridge

Draw it slower
Pour it slower
Talk if you have to, not if you don't
The room is already doing the singing
You just have to not

Chorus

Slow like this, that's the whole invitation
No fireworks, no big confession
Just a woman and a glass and a coal going easy
And a night that don't need a lesson

Smoke in Her Hair, track by track
