Checkout Lane (Nocturnal DnB Mix)

[Verse 1] When I saw you there You looked right through me Like I’d already left Then your whole face lit up And your bag hit the floor We laughed in the aisle Like we’d done that before We pushed your cart slow To the checkout line Cans and apples stacked Like old weak alibis We stood there grinning At the card machine glow Too shy to name What we both already know [Pre-Chorus] So we bought a drink From a corner shelf Found a parking lot And sat with ourselves You said time gets mean If you let it run And I said some nights It still feels undone [Chorus] We drank to the past We drank to the now We tried to hold it But we didn’t know how We drank to the past We drank to the night Two old hearts shaking In the dashboard light [Verse 2] You said you married A good, steady man Who built your whole world With careful hands You said you meant it When you said “I do” Then you smiled so hard It almost broke in two I told you my road Had a hundred bends That the crowd was kind But the miles were friends You looked in my face Like you knew the truth That some old wound Never really leaves youth [Pre-Chorus] Then your voice went small And the rain came down On the hood of your car In that quiet sound We were brave for a second Then we let it go Like a song in the dark That nobody knows [Chorus] We drank to the past We drank to the now We tried to hold it But we didn’t know how We drank to the past We drank to the night Two old hearts shaking In the dashboard light [Bridge] The bottle was empty And our words ran thin You kissed my cheek And I felt that schoolyard wind For one bright heartbeat I was young again Then you drove away And the dusk moved in [Final Chorus] We drank to the past We drank to the now We tried to hold it But we didn’t know how We drank to the past We drank to the night Two old hearts shaking In the dashboard light We drank to the past We drank to the time Laughing like fools At our old state of mind We drank to the past Then you slipped from sight And I stood there listening To the tail-lights die
