Candlewax and Merlot

Текст песни

[Verse 1] You came in with rain on your coat I took it, and hung it by the door Two plates, one white linen cloth And your laugh made the room feel more A slow flame on the table A red pour turning gold at the rim You traced circles on my wrist Like you’d been here once before again [Pre-Chorus] And the whole world fell away To the clink of glass and plate Your eyes said stay a while So I stayed [Chorus] Candlewax and merlot Your hand in my hand Candlewax and merlot We move as slow as we can And if the night goes quiet Let it hush, let it glow Candlewax and merlot That’s how I know [Verse 2] The waiter passed like a shadow We were folded into our own small moon Your fork paused by your smile Then you leaned in and changed the tune I caught the light in your earrings Soft sparks dancing near your cheek You said “this feels like a secret” I said “then keep it here with me” [Pre-Chorus] And the whole room blurred to gold Every worry let me go Your fingers brushed my sleeve And I froze [Chorus] Candlewax and merlot Your hand in my hand Candlewax and merlot We move as slow as we can And if the night goes quiet Let it hush, let it glow Candlewax and merlot That’s how I know [Bridge] [Soft scat] Mm-mm, stay close Let the candle bend We don’t need tomorrow We’ve got right now to spend Your smile on the tablecloth Your pulse under my palm If love has a shape tonight It’s this calm [Final Chorus] Candlewax and merlot Your hand in my hand Candlewax and merlot We move as slow as we can And if the night goes quiet Let it hush, let it glow Candlewax and merlot That’s how I know Candlewax and merlot You and me, slow and slow
