Still Smell Like Flowers

Late October, first drink, noise all in our chest We came dressed for a night that was meant to stay light Then one look stayed on a second more than it should’ve One second too long Heart hit that slow drop, whole room went thin at the edges Words lost weight in the mouth, even the music pulled back Felt like love or a warning, we still ain’t named which One second too long Some nights still smell like flowers And we know why One second too long Still don’t leave our mind Some nights still smell like flowers And we know why One second too long Still don’t leave our mind You smiled from across like you knew what that look did Not too much, just enough to make the blood shift Felt like both of us knew this was all we might get One second too long And that’s what still stays with us after the night end Not your name, just that pull and the way you held it Maybe same club, maybe somewhere else, maybe never Still we think of it Back home, late quiet, city low through the glass We still catch that flower note some evenings when it pass Strange how one small second got a longer kind of reach One second too long Maybe it was nothing, maybe everything to us Just two hearts going still in the middle of the rush If it happens once again, we gon’ know it when it does One second too long Some nights still smell like flowers And we know why One second too long Still don’t leave our mind Some nights still smell like flowers And we know why One second too long Still don’t leave our mind
