[Verse 1 – Him 1]
You remember that old county road?
Where we swore nobody’d ever know.
You laughed and said, “Just for tonight,”
But I knew, damn it, it felt right.
[Verse 1 – Him 2]
Yeah, I still see your truck headlights,
Shining soft in that Tennessee night.
We said it’s just a phase, just a fling,
But boy, we both knew it was everything.
[Chorus – Both]
If the world wasn’t watchin’,
We’d have danced in that neon glow,
Told the truth we were scared to show.
Would’ve loved out loud instead of hidin’ in sin,
If the world wasn’t watchin’,
I’d have reached for your hand again.
[Verse 2 – Him 1]
You found her, built your fence and home,
Got that life we dreamed alone.
I ain’t mad — I get it, I do,
Just wish this heart would forget you.
[Verse 2 – Him 2]
I still think about that night by the lake,
Where we swore love ain’t a mistake.
But mornings come, and courage fades —
And I still hate the choice I made.
[Chorus – Both]
If the world wasn’t watchin’,
I’d have stayed when you said “go,”
Would’ve let the whole damn county know.
Would’ve traded fear for the truth within,
If the world wasn’t watchin’,
You’d still be under my skin.
[Bridge – Him 1 & Him 2, trading lines]
Him 1: You ever wonder who we’d be?
Him 2: Yeah, sometimes that thought still ruins me.
Him 1: Maybe one day they’ll understand.
Him 2: Maybe love won’t have to hide again.
[Final Chorus – Both, soft harmony]
If the world wasn’t watchin’,
We’d be two old men on that porch,
Laughin’ ’bout the past we can’t ignore.
Would’ve said “I love you” in the morning light,
Not whispered it only at night.
If the world wasn’t watchin’,
We’d still be holdin’ on tight.
[Outro – Both, quiet]
Him 1: Guess some love just don’t survive the daylight.
Him 2: But I still dream of you every night.
