Slow-Dancing in Your Doorway
Israr Hassan
romantic
Warm acoustic ballad with soft piano beds and breathy male vocals; verses stay intimate and close-miked
chorus blooms with stacked harmonies and gentle pads. Subtle brushed snare and upright bass ease in on the second pass
with a delicate string swell lifting the final chorus into a tender
cinematic finish.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You laugh
Say you look a mess
Hair up high
In my old sweater
You turn away
But I still stare
Thinking I have never seen you better
[Chorus]
Slow-dancing in your doorway
Bare feet on the wooden floor
You pull me in
I lose my way
Find it tangled in yours
If this is all we ever get
Just your heartbeat on my chest
Then I’m already sure
There’s nothing I could want more
[Verse 2]
Takeout boxes on the counter
Movie paused
We just keep talking
You trace circles on my shoulder
Time gives up
Decides to stop watching
[Chorus]
Slow-dancing in your doorway
Bare feet on the wooden floor
You pull me in
I lose my way
Find it tangled in yours
If this is all we ever get
Just your heartbeat on my chest
Then I’m already sure
There’s nothing I could want more
[Bridge]
You say
“Promise me you’ll stay” (hey)
I say
“I’m already here”
Every tomorrow I could name
Starts and ends with you
My dear
[Chorus]
Slow-dancing in your doorway
Bare feet on the wooden floor
You pull me in
I lose my way
Find it tangled in yours
If this is all we ever get
Just your heartbeat on my chest
Then I’m already sure
Right here in your arms
There’s nothing I could want more
You laugh
Say you look a mess
Hair up high
In my old sweater
You turn away
But I still stare
Thinking I have never seen you better
[Chorus]
Slow-dancing in your doorway
Bare feet on the wooden floor
You pull me in
I lose my way
Find it tangled in yours
If this is all we ever get
Just your heartbeat on my chest
Then I’m already sure
There’s nothing I could want more
[Verse 2]
Takeout boxes on the counter
Movie paused
We just keep talking
You trace circles on my shoulder
Time gives up
Decides to stop watching
[Chorus]
Slow-dancing in your doorway
Bare feet on the wooden floor
You pull me in
I lose my way
Find it tangled in yours
If this is all we ever get
Just your heartbeat on my chest
Then I’m already sure
There’s nothing I could want more
[Bridge]
You say
“Promise me you’ll stay” (hey)
I say
“I’m already here”
Every tomorrow I could name
Starts and ends with you
My dear
[Chorus]
Slow-dancing in your doorway
Bare feet on the wooden floor
You pull me in
I lose my way
Find it tangled in yours
If this is all we ever get
Just your heartbeat on my chest
Then I’m already sure
Right here in your arms
There’s nothing I could want more
