Stage Lights On

You walk in slow

Spot hits your face just right

Lip gloss

Little gold chain glow

You own the night

I’m tuned in

To the way your shoulders sway

You laugh

Then you look my way

And my words get thin

Stage lights on

But it’s you I see

Whole crowd gone

It’s just you and me

Every color on the ceiling falls on your skin

Stage lights on

And I’m falling in

Stage lights on

And I’m leaning in (come close)

Stage lights on

Let the show begin

You two-step

Sneakers squeak on the floor

I’m sideline

Trying to catch my breath

You want more

That half-smile

Says “why you over there?”

You crook a finger in the air

Pull me into your fire

Stage lights on

But it’s you I see

Whole crowd gone

It’s just you and me

Every color on the ceiling falls on your skin

Stage lights on

And I’m falling in

Stage lights on

And I’m leaning in (oh yeah)

Stage lights on

Let the show begin

You say

“Relax

I got you”

Hand on my neck

I lock in

World fades out of the frame

It’s just your breath on my skin

If this is just the first song

How deep can this night go?

You whisper “stay right here”

And I already know

Stage lights on

But it’s you I see

Whole crowd gone

It’s just you and me

Every color on the ceiling falls on your skin

Stage lights on

And I’m falling in

Stage lights on

And I’m leaning in (so close)

Stage lights on

Let the show begin
