(Intro)
Neon dripping off the sidewalk lines
Engines humming like they know our minds
We don’t talk about the after this
We just let the moment exist
(Verse 1)
You say “one more,” I say “alright”
Clock don’t matter when it’s this bright
Every laugh feels a little untrue
‘Cause we both know what morning do
Phone lights flash, we don’t reply
Let the world wait outside
If this is wrong, I don’t care how
We can be honest—just not now
(Pre-Chorus)
Don’t ask me what this means
Don’t ask me where it goes
If it’s only sparks in the dark
Let ‘em glow
(Chorus / Drop)
Not now
Don’t pull the lights on yet
If it’s fragile, let it shake
Just don’t end it yet
Not now
We’re too deep in the sound
If tomorrow’s gonna hurt us
Let it wait
Not now
(Post-Drop Hook)
Not now
Hands in the air, hearts unlocked
If it’s only for tonight
Not now
(Verse 2)
Your jacket smells like summer rain
Like leaving town, like missing trains
We keep dancing around the truth
Like it won’t catch us if we move
Every touch feels like a test
Every smile under stress
But if this is where we fall apart
I want the best part at the start
(Pre-Chorus)
Don’t tell me what we’ll be
Don’t tell me what we’re not
If this is fire in our hands
Let it burn hot
(Chorus / Drop)
Not now
Don’t say the words too loud
If it’s breaking, let it bend
Just don’t break it now
Not now
We’re too close to the edge
If tomorrow takes you from me
Let tomorrow wait
Not now
(Bridge – stripped)
Maybe we’re lying to ourselves
Maybe that’s okay
Some nights are only meant to live
Not explain
(Final Chorus / Drop)
Not now
Even if it disappears
Even if we never talk
After this, after here
Not now
Till the night runs out of breath
If I lose you to the daylight
At least I felt it then
(Outro)
Neon fading, city slows
Everywhere we didn’t go
Not now…
Just not now
