[Verse 1]
You came through my door in that thrift-store dress
Laughing ‘bout the rain in your messed-up hair
Dropped your keys, you cursed, then you kissed my neck
Said, “I’m only staying for a minute,” like a dare
Takeout on the counter, shoes by the wall
Phone face down so you don’t get called
You say you miss when we had time to fall
Slow, real slow, like we had it all
[Pre-Chorus]
You put that old playlist on
Said, “You remember this song?” (oh yeah)
Back when my mama was gone
We had the house to our own
[Chorus]
Let’s make a moment, right here, right now
Slow dance in the hallway, lights dimmed down
Kiss you in the kitchen, spin you ‘round and ‘round
Turn this little apartment to a battleground
Of love, of sweat, of sheets on the floor
You say, “Baby, I can’t take no more”
Then you pull me closer, breathe in my ear
“This that baby-making night of the year” (mmm)
[Verse 2]
You push my hands back, say, “Talk to me first”
“Tell me ‘bout the days when you wanted me worst”
So I paint that picture from the bus stop days
Backpacks, crush notes, young, half-crazed
Sneaking in your window ‘bout half past two
Your dad on the couch, I tiptoed for you
You giggle, you whisper, “Boy, don’t get caught”
But you let me stay a little longer than we thought
[Pre-Chorus]
You say, “Nobody knows me this deep
You been in my dreams in my sleep”
Girl, that look got me weak
Body talking, heart can’t speak (hey)
[Chorus]
Let’s make a moment, right here, right now
Slow dance in the hallway, lights dimmed down
Kiss you in the kitchen, spin you ‘round and ‘round
Turn this little apartment to a battleground
Of love, of sweat, of sheets on the floor
You say, “Baby, I can’t take no more”
Then you pull me closer, breathe in my ear
“This that baby-making night of the year”
[Bridge]
[Beat drops softer, just keys and snaps]
You ride my name in the fog on glass
Say, “Promise me this feeling gonna last”
I say, “Long as these old songs play
I’m gonna love you in the same old way”
No rush, no race, just touch
Heartbeats talking too much (too much)
From the couch to the door to the bed to the wall
Every little step, girl, I’m ready to fall
[Chorus]
Let’s make a moment, right here, right now
Slow dance in the hallway, lights dimmed down
Kiss you in the kitchen, spin you ‘round and ‘round
Turn this little apartment to a battleground
Of love, of sweat, of sheets on the floor
You say, “Baby, I can’t take no more”
Then you pull me closer, breathe in my ear
“This that baby-making night of the year” (oh yeah)
