Petals in Slow Motion
pop, Airy bloom-pop ballad with soft piano and close, intimate female vocals; gentle violin swells answering the vocal phrases. Verse stays sparse with just piano chords and subtle pad, chorus widens with layered harmonies and brighter strings. Light organic percussion and distant reverb create a floating, dreamlike space, ending on a tender piano-violin outro., soft, violin

Lyrics
Verse 1
You trace my name
In the fog on your window
Tiny heart shape
Right above the street glow
Bare feet
On the kitchen tile
You spin slow
Breath on my neck
Like the hush of the first snow
Chorus
Petals in slow motion
Falling through your hands
Time turns to watercolor
Running where we stand
Hold me in that moment
Pale blue afternoon
Every little heartbeat
Dreamy bloom
Dreamy bloom
Verse 2
Tea gone cold
While we talk about nothing
Your old sweater
Hanging loose on my shoulders
Clock hands crawl
But I swear we get younger
When you laugh
Every faded day grows bolder
Chorus
Petals in slow motion
Falling through your hands
Time turns to watercolor
Running where we stand
Hold me in that moment
Pale blue afternoon
Every little heartbeat
Dreamy bloom
Dreamy bloom
Bridge
If the world starts shaking
You can stay right here
Let the daylight breaking
Wash the edges clear
We could live forever
In this quiet room
You and I
Forever
In a dreamy bloom
Chorus
Petals in slow motion
Falling through your hands
Time turns to watercolor
Running where we stand
Hold me in that moment
Pale blue afternoon
Every little heartbeat
Dreamy bloom
Dreamy bloom (oh)
Every little heartbeat
Dreamy bloom
Dreamy bloom
