Fairground Lights

Met you on a warm July night

Fairground lights and your hand in mine

Laughin’ as we walked hand in hand

Didn’t know then, but it changed my life

She pulled me to the spinning swings

You said, “Hold on tight”

Heard your laugh above the noise

That’s the moment I knew joy

We moved fast, no second guess

Hearts on fire, no safety nets

And I’d do it all again, no doubt

'Cause love like that don’t burn out

Now you're ten hours away

Still in the same time zone, but it’s not the same

Every night I miss your face

Like a song with a missing phrase

But we kissed where the music played

And I still feel you every day

Distance hurts, but it won’t change a thing

You’ve still got me — just like the spinning swings

We walked that fair ‘til it shut down

Tried every ride, just foolin’ around

You leaned on me in the fairground light

Then kissed me slow for the first time

No regrets for how we fell

You and me, we knew too well

That some things hit like a storm and stay

And no miles could pull us away

We moved fast, but it felt like fate

Like the stars aligned just right that day

Even now, with you far from here

I close my eyes, and you’re near

Now you're ten hours away

Still in the same time zone, but it’s not the same

Every night I miss your face

Like a song with a missing phrase

But we kissed where the music played

And I still feel you every day

Distance hurts, but it won’t change a thing

You’ve still got me — just like the spinning swings

One day soon, I’ll see that smile

Crossin’ state lines, drivin’ miles

Back to the place where we first began

Back to us, back to then

You’re ten hours away

But you still take my breath away

Even through this stretch of space

You're the one I can’t replace

Yeah, we kissed where the stars all blinked

And I still feel it when I blink

We were flyin’ — still are, in everything

You’ve still got me — just like the spinning swings

You’ve still got me...

Just like the spinning swings
