Verse 1
Neon lights fading in the rearview mirror
Last call laughter still ringing in my ears
You kicked off your heels, said “come on inside”
Poured us one more glass, let the silence slide
Pre-Chorus
Radio low, just an old love song
Clock on the wall saying two AM’s gone
You smiled like you knew what I was thinking
Yeah, that’s when the night stopped drinking
Chorus
We were dancing in the kitchen, barefoot on tile
Your head on my shoulder, lost track of time
Spinning slow to a vinyl crackle sound
Just two hearts, no one else around
Cheap wine buzz and your hand in mine
Moonlight falling through the blinds
Didn’t need a reason, didn’t need permission
Just you and me dancing in the kitchen
Verse 2
Cabinet doors still holding memories
Magnets and notes from a life in between
You laughed when I stepped on your toes
Said “it’s okay, just don’t let go”
Pre-Chorus
Streetlight humming through the window pane
Your hair smells like summer rain
Every song feels like it’s written
For moments like dancing in kitchens
Chorus
Yeah, dancing in the kitchen, barefoot on tile
Your heartbeat slowing me down
We ain’t chasing fireworks or city lights
Just letting the moment hang around
Cheap wine buzz and your hand in mine
Stars sneaking in through the blinds
Didn’t need a reason, didn’t need permission
Just you and me dancing in the kitchen
Bridge
If tomorrow comes knocking too soon
I’ll still feel you in this room
Every time I hear that tune
I’ll be right back here with you
Final Chorus (Soft → Lift)
Still dancing in the kitchen, same old floor
Same kind of love I’m hoping for
If this is all we ever do
It’s more than enough, me and you
No crowd, no stage, no grand ambition
Just a night that feels like tradition
If I ever need reminding
I’ll find you there
Dancing in the kitchen
Outro
Yeah… just you and me
Dancing in the kitchen
