Slow as Water
Style: Country waltz

[Verse 1]
Water drips off the old brick lintel
Falls the same slow way it always fell
Onto the step, one small dark ring
I keep coming back to you like that

[Pre-chorus]
I never needed fireworks or flame
Just this steady thing without a name
Something in me leans toward you now

[Chorus]
Phoenix, you're the calm behind my noise
The quiet I keep coming home to choose
Not every love needs to shout or climb
Phoenix, mine just stays, and that's the truth

[Verse 2]
Some nights the rain won't ever stop
Some nights I sit and watch it drop
Wondering why I never tire of this
You're the one thing I don't overthink

[Bridge]
Let the loud loves burn out fast
I'll take the kind that's built to last
You don't dazzle, you just stay
That's the harder, better way

[Chorus]
Phoenix, you're the calm behind my noise
The quiet I keep coming home to choose
Not every love needs to shout or climb
Phoenix, mine just stays, and that's the truth

[Outro]
Water still drips from that same old stone
Slow as ever, and I'm still yours
