lyrics

I’m not trying to make air tonight weigh on more heavy
The room lights up, my phone, why are you texting?
I know all your words you use to lasso and untie me
I’d be taken back but you play your hand just like that

Just like that..

While the world’s on fire your words are fine here
I like the way the moon reflects off you, your skin and onto mine
The sun starts to set, all I think of is...
“It’s about damn time”

..It’s about damn time

Like a new town glow in someone else’s headlights
Your body moves to the flowing twilight
Slow it down, enjoy a smoother grind
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like it

I like it..

I’m going down, down, down as of lately
Get me higher than the moon
Feeling this weird state
It’s so bitter sweet
I’m going down, down, down as of lately
Getting higher than the moon
Get in that new taste of lemonade honey

..Of lemonade honey

An old town rolling out of someone’s sight line
Your body moves from the flowing twilight
Driving on
Something new by light
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss it

You’re my forever glow
In someone else’s light
I’ll miss your body in the flowing twilight
I guess I’ll slow it down, down
Enjoy the lonely nights
I won’t fool myself, no
You’ve never been my light

You’ve never been my light..
