Slow Spell

[Verse 1]

You called

But you stayed quiet

Breathing in my ear

Then silence

I could hear your doubts

Hanging in the space between us

[Chorus]

You put me under a slow spell

Every time you say my name like that

“Don’t go” in a three-note run

Breaking me

Making me come right back

Slow spell

How you turn my wrongs to past tense

One word

Then that three-note run

I forgive what I shouldn’t forget

[Verse 2]

Your shirt on the back of my chair

Smells like all the nights I cared too much

We keep circling the same fight

Just to fall asleep

Hands still touching

[Chorus]

You put me under a slow spell

Every time you say my name like that

“Don’t go” in a three-note run

Breaking me

Making me come right back

Slow spell

How you turn my fears to past tense

One word

Then that three-note run

I believe what I shouldn’t accept

[Bridge]

Say it again

Say it softer this time (oh)

Three notes falling

And I fall in behind

If loving you hurts

I’ll hurt on cue

Just sing that line

And I’ll run to you

[Chorus]

You put me under a slow spell

Every time you say my name like that

“Don’t go” in a three-note run

Breaking me

Making me come right back

Slow spell

How you bend my heart to your will

One word

Then that three-note run

And I’m yours

Even when I sit still
