Cheap Lights, Warm Hands

Cheap lights buzz above the room, Extension cords snake the floor. Heat’s barely working, but you smile, Say, “We’ve been colder before.” Outside the city’s losing its mind, Inside you pull me near. If miracles still exist at all, They look a lot like this right here. Pre-Chorus I don’t need gold, don’t need a sign, Just don’t let go this time. Chorus Cheap lights, warm hands, That’s all I need tonight. World’s on fire, but you’re right here, Holding me like I might survive. Cheap lights, warm hands— Tell me this ain’t love. Verse 2 We eat whatever’s left in cans, Laugh like it’s a feast. You swear next year will be kinder, I don’t argue—I just breathe. If hope’s a fragile, stupid thing, Then let me keep it anyway. I learned how to believe again Watching you stay. Bridge If everything else falls apart, This still counts as art. Final Chorus Cheap lights, warm hands, Burning through the dark. If the world forgets our names, We’ll still know who we are.
