Slow to Melt
Style: Motown ballad

[Verse 1]
The glass sits warm on the sill
Watching the ice go slow
You never rushed a single thing
You let the feeling grow

[Chorus]
Janet, you're steady as the evening light
Nothing about you is rushed or thin
Janet, I could watch you all my life
Slow is just how the loving win

[Verse 2]
Some hearts melt fast and disappear
Gone before the glass runs dry
You stay clear right to the bottom
You never gave me a reason why

[Pre-chorus]
I used to want the quick, bright burn
Now I want the long, slow thaw
Come closer, let me say your name again

[Chorus]
Janet, you're steady as the evening light
Nothing about you is rushed or thin
Janet, I could watch you all my life
Slow is just how the loving win

[Bridge]
No need to hurry what already stays
No need to chase what's already true
I'll sit here through the whole slow fade
Just to keep on looking at you

[Chorus]
Janet, you're steady as the evening light
Nothing about you is rushed or thin
Janet, I could watch you all my life
Slow is just how the loving win

[Outro]
The glass sits empty now, the light gone gold
Still, I'd wait here for you every time
