Slice of the Afternoon
Style: Piano ballad

[Verse 1]
You pull the knife out of your pocket
Cut the orange into six
Hand me the biggest piece without looking
That's just how you always give

[Chorus]
Leslie, I could sit here for hours
No clock, no plan, no rush
Just the wool beneath us and the sun
Leslie, this is enough

[Verse 2]
Juice runs down onto the checkered wool
You laugh like it doesn't matter
Nothing about you needs fixing
Nothing about today feels scattered

[Pre-chorus]
Some people love you loudly
You love me in small careful ways
Small enough to build a whole life on

[Chorus]
Leslie, I could sit here for hours
No clock, no plan, no rush
Just the wool beneath us and the sun
Leslie, this is enough

[Bridge]
I've had louder afternoons than this one
Never one that felt this true
Whatever else the years take from me
I want to keep the sight of you

[Chorus]
Leslie, I could sit here for hours
No clock, no plan, no rush
Just the wool beneath us and the sun
Leslie, this is enough

[Outro]
Fold the knife, leave the peel in the grass
I'll remember this long after we pass
