Different Lights, Same You

**[Verse 1]**

You’re in that mirror, head tilted, fixing one last curl

I’m on the doorway, knocked breathless like it’s our first world

You laugh, “you’re staring,” I say, “yeah, I still get lost like that”

Grab your jacket off the back of my chair, you steal my ball cap Front door closes, porch light paints your shoulders gold

Summer air humming, my hand finds yours like it’s all I know

Truck door open, you slide in grinning at my old playlist

Every song they’re singing, I swear was written for nights like this…

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Little town fading in the rearview, sky wide open, slow

You’re tracing hearts on the window, I’m missing turns on the road

**[Chorus]**

Neon bar lights on your skin, you’re glowing in the smoke and sound

Room’s all spinning two-step fast, but we’re just swaying, slowing down

Your head on my chest in the corner where the jukebox buzzes low

Every song’s a love song when I’m holding you this close

From that soft porch light to the whisky shine of blue and red

Doesn’t matter what lights we’re under, it’s the way your hand fits mine instead

Yeah the whole world fades to black around this view

Different lights, same dance, same you

**[Verse 2]**

Boot heel tapping on the bar rail, ice melting in your glass

You’re laughing at my old stories like you didn’t live every single past

You pull me closer by the collar when the steel guitar comes in

Say, “shut up, just hold me,” and I forget what air even is Your lipstick mark on my t-shirt, your perfume in my drink

The waitress smirks when we’re tangled up, says, “y’all been together, think?”

We just smile like strangers who found each other for the first time tonight

But there’s years in the way you know my tells when I say, “I’m fine”

**[Pre-Chorus 2]**

Jukebox flickers through our history, song after song we’ve worn thin

Yet it still feels brand new every time your fingers lock back in

**[Chorus]**

Neon bar lights on your skin, you’re glowing in the smoke and sound

Room’s all spinning two-step fast, but we’re just swaying, slowing down

Your head on my chest in the corner where the jukebox buzzes low

Every song’s a love song when I’m holding you this close

From that soft porch light to the whisky shine of blue and red

Doesn’t matter what lights we’re under, it’s the way your hand fits mine instead

Yeah the whole world fades to black around this view

Different lights, same dance, same you

**[Bridge]**

When the laughter dies and the last call lights come on

We’re stealing one more slow song in the parking lot alone

Tailgate down, radio low, stars hung like fairy string

You’re barefoot on the gravel, and suddenly I can’t hear a thing Just your heartbeat through my faded shirt

Your whisper, “don’t rush, let it work”

Every night like this reminds me what I always knew

I could walk through any darkness if it’s leading me back to you …….
