[close mic]
Mm
Yeah
[Verse 1 | half sung, barely above a whisper]
Door locked, world off, phone face down
Kitchen light like a low gold crown
You’re in my hoodie, hair a mess
Smile so slow it feels like rest
We pass it back like a secret prayer
Little clouds in the cold night air
You giggle and I lose my edge
All that weight steps off the ledge
[Pre Chorus | harmonies tucked behind the lead]
I don’t need a better life
I just need you here tonight
Jess, you pull me out my head
Like you always do
[Chorus | soft falsetto, simple, repeatable]
We get high, we get sweet
We get dumb on the beat
Say “I love you” like a loop
‘Til it turns into truth
And I laugh, you lean in
Put your forehead on my skin
In this quiet little room
I keep falling into you
[Verse 2 | warm bass, fingers on strings]
We make snacks like it’s fine dining
Talk big dreams, bad timing
You start dancing in socks again
I swear you make me young again
Then it hits and the ceiling drifts
Like the house got new old gifts
You look at me, slow blink, grin
And I’m gone, I’m in
[Pre Chorus | lower, more intimate]
All my anger, all my noise
Turns to nothing in your voice
If heaven’s real, it might be this
Just us, no script
[Chorus | falsetto lift]
We get high, we get sweet
We get dumb on the beat
Say “I love you” like a loop
‘Til it turns into truth
And I laugh, you lean in
Put your forehead on my skin
In this quiet little room
I keep falling into you
[Bridge | spoken-sung, airy ad libs]
If the days get sharp
We’ll stay soft
If the world gets loud
We’ll turn it off
(Oh)
You’re my calm, you’re my home
Even when I’m not
[Outro | fade, breaths, hums]
One more hit, one more kiss
Make a moment out of this
Mm
Yeah
Just you and me
