Under These Circumstances

/////*****///// [Intro | acoustic guitar fingerpicking | pedal steel swells | smoky bar ambience] [Verse 1 | male baritone vocal | intimate delivery | light pedal steel] Back booth shadow where the neon fades Your hand in mine while the jukebox plays We keep our voices soft and low Like everybody don’t already know Your laugh fades in with whiskey haze But every glance just gives us away Two white gold rings that just don’t feel right Two sparks we just cant keep disguised [Pre-Chorus | emotional build-up | rising pedal steel | soft harmonies] i whisper lets live dangerous tonight but we know every step is crossing a line [Chorus | anthemic country chorus | stacked harmonies | full band] Under these circumstances I can't love you.. Can't let the locals see us dancing And romancing.. or me lovin' up on you Under these circumstances Every touch is something we probably should hide.. I got one at home and so do you So under these circumstances.. I can't love you [Verse 2 | warm baritone vocal | steady country groove] Your boots slide slow across the floor Like we've done this dance before they play the song, "stand by you man" but now I'm thinkin', we got other plans The band plays low, the lights stay dim damn, I need to kiss your lips Two lonely hearts hard up for time Knowing we can’t cross that line [Pre-Chorus | emotional tension | pedal steel rise] Just one mistake could leave things crumblin' But I can’t get enough of this, or your kiss, or my hands resting on your hips. our walks, our talks, our holding each other close and our slow dancing.. but under these circumstances [Chorus | anthemic chorus | layered harmonies] Under these circumstances I can't love you.. Can't let the locals see us dancing and romancing.. or me lovin up on you Under these circumstances Every touch is something we probably should hide.. I got one at home and so do you So under these circumstances.. I can't love you [Bridge | stripped acoustic | emotional vocal break] Maybe on another night, or Maybe in another town.. Where the truth don't carry consequences.. and we don't have to make conscious decisions. where we don’t feel like we're taking chances.. but under under these circumstances. [Final Chorus | powerful anthemic chorus | stacked harmonies | pedal steel soaring] Under these circumstances I can't love you.. Can't let the locals see us dancing And romancing.. or me lovin' up on you Under these circumstances Every touch is something we probably should hide.. I got one at home and so do you So under these circumstances.. I can't love you [Outro | soft pedal steel | fading acoustic guitar | emotional baritone] Under these circumstances... [Fade Out]
