Skyline Slow Burn

[ Lyrics ]

Slow burn on the skyline, baby it’s you.

Slow burn on the skyline… yeah, slow burn through the night.

Met you at Drai’s, just a glance, no words,
backlit by the glow of the city unseen.
You didn’t try to fix me, didn’t rush the verse,
just let the silence hum between.
I came with baggage, you came with space,
watched the harbor burn from that rooftop place.
You traced my shoulder like a melody,
no need to speak, I felt it in me.

No fireworks, no breaking news—
just the way you look when you think I’m not looking.
You’re not trying to win, you just stay in tune,
and that’s what keeps me pulling.

Slow burn on the skyline, baby it’s you,
not a spark, but a fire I didn’t chase.
Every floor we rise feels like something true,
no masks, no games, just your calm embrace.
Slow burn in the afterglow, slow burn, it shows—
what I thought I’d never have.

Now I save your number, not under 'A',
but under 'home' — didn’t plan that.
We skip the parties, choose the drive-in view,
listen to old playlists under moonlit blue.
You bring me soup when I’m jet-lagged sick,
remember how I take my coffee thick.
Not a headline, not a scene,
just a quiet love that feels like dream.

No grand confessions, no midnight flights—
just you showing up every time it rains.
And the walls I carried through lonely nights
are dissolving in your name.

I used to crave the blaze, the crash, the sound,
love like a crash in a foreign town.
But you’re the calm beneath the flash,
the softest light in a world gone fast.

Slow burn on the skyline, baby it’s you,
not a spark, but a flame that stays.
Every word you say feels like something true,
no rush, no fear, just your steady gaze.
Slow burn in the afterglow, slow burn, I know—
this is what I’m thankful for.

Slow burn…
felt it all along.
