He's Mine Tonight #InsideOut
You rushed right through with a nervous βHiβ An' I saw your smile as you passed me by I laughed to myself, still picturin' your face Little did I know, you'd just stolen my gaze... The girls nudged us, said itβs time to leave We walked through quiet streets, hearts on our sleeves When we reached the bar, I caught your glance An' something told me weβd get our chance Words came slow, but our eyes were fast Like we both knew this kinda thing don't last Down at the bar, lights set soft an' dim Shots went down, I leaned close to him Then that boy stepped in an' tried to take your hand You froze, eyes searching mine in a fright I saw that look and smiled, an' said βHeβs mine tonight.β A nervous pause, then the dare was clear βProve it,β he said, an' we drew near Our lips met fast, that spark became a flame We didnβt need a story, didnβt need a name You didnβt speak, but your shoulder touched mine I coulda stayed like that βtil the end of time Or at least βtil last call, hearts runninβ fast You kissed me again like you wanted it to last You said, βCan I drive you home instead?β I said, βLetβs go where the sky turns redβ So I led you up to that mountain top City lights below, hearts about to drop My shirt came off, the air was cold an' thin But you kept me warm with trembling skin Hands that roamed like theyβd always known Up on that stage in a world of our own A beam of light an' a shout in the dark But nothing could tame that kind of spark We ran half-dressed through midnight streets Young love on fire, swept off our feet One kiss led to a hundred more Clothes in a trail from the bed to the door We burned straight through to the break of day I prayed that heat would never fade away But months later, when your duty was through You packed your bags, said home was waiting for you I stood there heavy with a breaking heart Watchinβ an' wishinβ we didn't have to part I watched your taillights fade from sight Couldn't move βtil they were gone from the night Stepped back inside, shut the door, an' spilled it all Some loves blaze tall, then fade an' fall I waited my whole life for a love like that Even knowing the end, I wouldnβt change a fact
