Lyrics
Grandma Millie’s skillet on the unlit stove tonight.
Eliza, it’s just me and the yellow kitchen light.
My hands on the cast iron, feel the history in the grain.
Remember you caught me scouring, trying to wash away a stain.
[Chorus]
We ain't at a rolling boil
Nothing's getting burned, not yet
This is just that low simmer, Eliza
The kind a heart can't forget
[Verse 2]
You leaned in on the counter, your voice was soft and flat.
You said, "Boy, don't you scrub the season off, that's where the good stuff's at."
I'm trying to believe you, trying to trust the heat and time.
But the bitter taste of silence was my family’s first real crime.
[Chorus]
We ain't at a rolling boil
Nothing's getting burned, not yet
This is just that low simmer, Eliza
The kind a heart can't forget
[Bridge]
Is this love too raw to serve?
Did I add too much salt from these tears?
Just tell me the heat is right for this, my dear.
[Outro]
Low simmer.
Just a low simmer, now.
