Kiss Her in Front of You

[Verse 1]
Saw you under that neon sign
Laughing like the old you did
New hand hanging on your hip
Like I’m some stranger kid
You caught my name in the air
Let it fall right to your shoes
Said
“This is him
” with a shrug
Like I was old headline news
[Pre-Chorus]
My heart’s doing circles in my chest
You’re steady as a Sunday pew
He pulls you in
Looks at me
Says
“What’d she ever see in you?” (hey)
[Chorus]
If you wanna kiss her in front of me
Do it
Make it sting
Make it burn
Let it be
Let your hands say all the words
You never had the guts to speak
If you’re gonna break what we had in two
Do it right here in this crowded room
Yeah
Kiss her in front of me
So I know we’re finally through
[Verse 2]
Your perfume cuts through the smoke
Same one from that August night
When we swore we’d leave this town
Now you’re parked in his headlights
He’s got my trucker cap tilt
My old jokes on his tongue
Every laugh that used to be mine
Hanging off your lungs
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re reading me like a worn-out map
All the roads I never took to you
He pulls you close
Eyes on mine
Says
“Guess she found something new” (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
If you wanna kiss her in front of me
Do it
Make it hurt
Make it loud
Let it bleed
Let your lips draw one last line
Between your heart and me
If you’re gonna shatter what we called truth
Do it right here in this corner booth
Yeah
Kiss her in front of me
So I know I’m losing you
[Bridge]
Go on
Spin her in my old boots
Let her dance where we carved our youth
Let that sweetness on your mouth
Be my final proof
‘Cause I can’t keep holding on
To a ghost that’s holding you
So write the ending on her lips
I’ll read it
Then I’m through (I’m through)
[Chorus]
If you wanna kiss her in front of me
Do it
Make it sharp
Make it clean
Set me free
Let your goodbye taste like fire
So there’s nothing left of “we”
If you’re gonna close this book for good
Do it right here like I knew you would
Yeah
Kiss her in front of me
Kiss her in front of me
So I can finally leave
And let you two be
