Heatwave Hush, Fan on Low

Lyrics

Thirty-nine degrees and the city's holding its breath
Curtains hanging heavy, not a single breeze left
Ice cubes in a glass making music on the sill
Even the streetlights look like they're standing still
You send me a message, said you cannot sleep
Sheets kicked to the floor, the night is hot and deep
I say come on over, bring your quiet and your sighs
We'll let the fan go spinning while the dark goes by

Slow down, slow down
Let the heat just wrap us round

Heatwave hush, fan on low
Nowhere to be and nowhere to go
Skin like honey, the room is gold
Let the summer tell us what it holds
Heatwave hush, stay a while
Cool me down with that slow smile
Fan on low, lights turned down
Nothing moving in this whole town

Windows open wide to the hum of the street
Neighbors on the rooftops with their bare tired feet
Popsicle confession dripping down your wrist
Laughing at the little things we almost missed
Midnight and the pavement still is breathing out the day
Your head on my shoulder and there's nothing left to say
Just the turning of the blades and the beat of your heart
Warm like a promise at the very start

Slow down, slow down
Let the heat just wrap us round

Heatwave hush, fan on low
Nowhere to be and nowhere to go
Skin like honey, the room is gold
Let the summer tell us what it holds
Heatwave hush, stay a while
Cool me down with that slow smile
Fan on low, lights turned down
Nothing moving in this whole town

Oh, let it burn, let it burn slow
Oh, we've got all night and nowhere to go
Cold water running down, running down
Love is a whisper in a sleeping town

Heatwave hush, fan on low
Nowhere to be and nowhere to go
Skin like honey, the room is gold
Let the summer tell us what it holds
Heatwave hush, stay a while
Cool me down with that slow smile
Fan on low, lights turned down
Nothing moving in this whole town

Fan on low, fan on low
Let the night go slow
