Verse 1 On the hottest day of the year I set the table for two Shadows dancing on the wall While I’m thinking of you On the hottest day of the year I open a bottle of white Cold against my lips Sun still high Verse 2 On the hottest day of the year I talk just to fill up the room Little stories going nowhere Lazy afternoon On the hottest day of the year You’re leaning back in your chair I’m watching how you listen Like you’re already there Instrumental Break (piano and bass) Pre Chorus Slow air No rush No need For much Chorus Slowly The hours slide Slowly You’re by my side Slowly We don’t even try Your hand in mine And time goes quiet Verse 3 On the hottest day of the year Nothing big was said No promises, no fireworks Just the words we left unsaid On the hottest day of the year Light fading from the sky Somehow we just moved Without asking why IInstrumental Break (piano and bass) Final Chorus Slowly The world outside Slowly Falls out of sight Slowly No big design Just your hand Resting in mine
