[Verse 1]
Well, the knees got creaky
The back got mean
But you still turn my head
Like a magazine
We don’t rush the night now
We take our time
Like a front-porch swing
In a slow moonlight
[Pre-Chorus]
It ain’t all fireworks
Ain’t all flame
Sometimes the sweetest things
Come out tame
You lean in closer
I grin and sigh
Like a soft little dare
In the pale lot light
[Chorus]
It’s like squeezing a marshmallow
In a parking meter
Soft in the middle
And sweeter and sweeter
It ain’t pretty
But it sure feels right
Squeezing a marshmallow
In a parking meter tonight
(parked and smiling)
(sweeter and sweeter)
[Verse 2]
Your laugh hits me sideways
Like a screen door slam
We don’t need no hurry
To know who we am
Every little wrinkle
Every little kiss
Turns the old hard world
Into something like this
[Pre-Chorus]
It ain’t all thunder
It ain’t all heat
Sometimes the best old love
Stays nice and neat
You hold me steady
I hold you near
And the whole wide town
Could disappear
[Chorus]
It’s like squeezing a marshmallow
In a parking meter
Soft in the middle
And sweeter and sweeter
It ain’t pretty
But it sure feels right
Squeezing a marshmallow
In a parking meter tonight
(parked and smiling)
(sweeter and sweeter)
[Bridge]
We ain’t young fools
With a brand-new spark
We’re a slow-burn promise
In a farmer’s truck
A little less wild
A little more true
And somehow, baby
That still gets me to you
[Final Chorus]
It’s like squeezing a marshmallow
In a parking meter
Soft in the middle
And sweeter and sweeter
It ain’t pretty
But it sure feels right
Squeezing a marshmallow
In a parking meter tonight
(parked and smiling)
(sweeter and sweeter)
(oh, baby)
