[Verse 1] You showed up late to the backyard fire Smoke in your hair, eyes full of trouble Laughing too loud at my bad jokes Spilling your drink, saying, "I’m in trouble" [Chorus] Bright lights, in your bedroom ceiling Fairy wire stars, cheap and dreaming You said, "This is all we’ll ever need tonight" Bright lights, on your thrift-store mirror Turning chipped glass into something clearer We were broke and wild under bright, bright lights [Verse 2] We drove past signs we couldn’t afford Counting tips crumpled under the floor mat You kissed my hand at the red stop line Said, "Turn it up, I wanna remember that" [Chorus] Bright lights, in your bedroom ceiling Fairy wire stars, cheap and dreaming You said, "This is all we’ll ever need tonight" Bright lights, on your thrift-store mirror Turning chipped glass into something clearer We were broke and wild under bright, bright lights [Bridge] Years go fast, keys on a table New town rent, dishes and cable I still see you, barefoot, July Glow on your face like we owned the sky [Chorus] Bright lights, in our small-town ceiling Same old stars, but a deeper feeling You said, "This is all we’ll ever need tonight" Bright lights, on a wrinkled letter Promising days we’ll make it better We’ll stay young and wild under bright, bright lights
