[Verse 1]
Met you at a house show
Spilled your drink
You cursed
Then laughed
Checker Vans and crooked halo
Pride pin on your thrifted jacket
Said my name like you already knew it
You leaned in
Stole my nervous breath
Red cup choir all around us
But you were louder than the rest
[Chorus]
We’re loud in color
We’re burning bright
Dancing on the edge of this perfect night
Yeah
We’re out
We’re here
We’re alive
Every little scar finally feels alright
I found love
I found love
And I like this life
I found love
I found love
And I like this life
[Verse 2]
Your lipstick on my coffee
Old band tee on my frame
Two boys in a crooked doorway
Kissing through the pouring rain
My mother called
She heard the rumors
I told her
“Yeah
He’s real
He stays”
You held my hand on speaker
Silent
Waiting through the waves
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
They said “You’ll understand one day”
But this is the day
This is the day
[building drums]
Hands up
Hearts up
Hair dyed strange
We’re the kind they swore would never change
[Chorus]
