**[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 …….
