Slow Water
Style: Folk duet

[Verse 1]
We lean on the railing, paint gone thin
White flakes fall where our elbows have been
Dark water pulls slow beneath us
I'd stand here for hours with you, Jude

[Pre-chorus]
You don't need to fill the quiet
I've stopped waiting for the right thing to say
This is already enough, almost

[Chorus]
Jude, you make the slow hours kind
I found something steady, and I don't mind
Nobody else holds still like you
Jude, you're the calm I never planned to find

[Verse 2]
The paint keeps flaking into the water
Gone before it even hits the surface
I used to think that meant losing something
Now I just watch it go, next to you

[Bridge]
Water doesn't rush, it just keeps moving
Taking its time, the way you do
I've learned to let things drift like that
Slow isn't nothing, not with you

[Chorus]
Jude, you make the slow hours kind
I found something steady, and I don't mind
Nobody else holds still like you
Jude, you're the calm I never planned to find

[Outro]
The railing's worn but it still holds
I'm glad it's you I'm standing next to
