Hunt the Night

Saw you stand by the corner store glow

Black boots, red coat, head low

Eyes like a storm that just passed by

Lipstick the color of a threat in the sky

We walk

Side by side, not speaking

Your laugh

Sharp little knife kept hidden

You say

“Every town’s got ghosts to find”

You trace your name in frost on the stop sign

We hunt the night

Blood moon over our heads, yeah

Run ’til the dark feels light

You’re that girl in my veins, can’t forget, nah

Hands up to the sky

Chasing shadows that look like us

We hunt the night

We hunt the night

Pop song playing from a cracked phone screen

You dance on the lines in the street, off-beat

Take my cap, pull it down on my eyes

Say, “Trust me, boy, I’ll steer your life”

Heartbeats hitting like a kick too fast

You steal a kiss like you’re stealing cash

Graffiti letters on the old brick wall

You spray your tag, then you spray my soul

Red on your nails, red in my mind

You draw a heart, then you cross the line

You say, “Pick a star, that one’s mine”

She laughs, “Or maybe I just pick your life”
