Slow to Melt
Style: Synth ballad

[Verse 1]
Ice sat warming on the radiator ledge
Nobody moved it off the edge
You watched it go from solid to clear
Said that's us, love, disappearing here

[Pre-chorus]
But some things thin out slow
Give their cold up nice and slow
Holding steady while the warmth arrives

[Chorus]
Constance, you never rushed a single thing
Not the melting, not the way you cling
Constance, still here when the water's clear
Steady is the sound of you, my dear

[Verse 2]
Plastic tumbler, nothing fancy at all
Didn't need the crystal or the hall
You make ordinary hold its shape
However long the evening likes to take

[Bridge]
Some loves flash and burn out quick
I chose the one that doesn't do that trick
You're the kind that lingers, kind that lasts
Warming slowly, holding fast

[Chorus]
Constance, you never rushed a single thing
Not the melting, not the way you cling
Constance, still here when the water's clear
Steady is the sound of you, my dear

[Outro]
The tumbler's empty, water's warm and still
You stayed right here, and always will
