Slow Burn

Slow Burn

Vivian... twenty-three years, and you still make me nervous when you walk in the room.
Same Friday, same record, same dress from our first apartment.
Pour me one. Let's not rush this.

[Verse]
Friday, the needle finds the groove
Ice in the glass, you don't have to move
Twenty-three years, and I still lose the thread
When you cross the room in that same old red

[Chorus]
Vivian, you're a slow burn (slow burn)
Twenty-three years and you still make me learn
Some fires flare and fade by morning light (morning light)
You just smolder, baby — burn all night

[Verse]
Same gin, same booth, that same slow laugh
You know my tell, you know my half
You've heard my stories, every line
And still you pour another glass of time

[Chorus]
Vivian, you're a slow burn (slow burn)
Twenty-three years and you still make me learn
Some fires flare and fade by morning light (morning light)
You just smolder, baby — burn all night

[Bridge]
(mmm, Vivian)
Everyone chases the flame at the start
I learned to live in the warmer part —
the slow, the late, the dark

[Final Chorus]
Vivian, you're a slow burn (slow burn)
Twenty-three years and you still make me learn
Pour me one more, kill the morning light (morning light)
You just smolder, baby — burn all night

[Outro]
(mmm, Vivian)
Slow burn... all night
