[Intro] “There's a kind of evening” “That already knows it's ending” “Before it starts” “I been in one all week” [VERSE 1] I been in this room since the light went gold Watching the shadow cross the floor cold Ice melting in the bourbon It’s like the night knows (no curbing) No stopping what I don’t see coming I built this space in the window hour The forty minutes before the amber goes grey Warm air breathing through the open window Saying everything I couldn’t believe Because it said the thing My words wouldn’t… I been chasing evenings like this one Since before I had a name for what I was chasing Found one tonight, which means I'm already In the middle of losing it [PRE-CHORUS] “Something this right never stays” “And I'm spending every second knowing that” “That's not the tragedy” "It makes every second" "Everything" [HOOK] I want to live inside this (evening) (eveeeening...) Where the gold is on the (ceiling) (ceiliiiing...) You're sitting right across from (me now) (me nooow...) And everything has (meaning) (meaaaaning...) Don't tell me that it's (leaving) (leaviiing...) Let me stay inside this (dreaming) (dreaaaming...) One more minute in this (golden) (gooolden...) One more minute in this (light) (liiiight...) [VERSE 2] Look at the way your shadow hits the wall Silhouettes dancing while the night-birds call We ain't checking no clocks, we ain't looking at screens Just breathing in the middle of a perfect dream Got the whole world paused outside the door Nothing else matters, nothing less, nothing more! Your hand in mine, warm skin, slow spark Etching our names into the quiet and dark Every second ticking by feels sacred and heavy A wild river running when the spirit is ready I’m taking mental pictures just to keep 'em in frame Before the morning comes and changes the game! 'Cause the best kind of night ain't the one you design It’s the one where the stars and the quiet align Right here in the golden, right here in the blur Living in the moment where we used to be... and were! (DAMN!) [PRE-CHORUS] “Everything good has an ending” “And the ending is what makes it” “Worth the whole thing” [HOOK] I want to live inside this (evening) (eveeeening...) Where the gold is on the (ceiling) (ceiliiiing...) You're sitting right across from (me now) (me nooow...) And everything has (meaning) (meaaaaning...) Don't tell me that it's (leaving) (leaviiing...) Let me stay inside this (dreaming) (dreaaaming...) One more minute in this (golden) (gooolden...) One more minute in this (light) (liiiight...) [BRIDGE] “You just laughed” “At something small....and I felt it” “In every part of me" "Part of Me(e-ee-e)" [War-horn synth blast & glitched cowbell roll] [FINAL HOOK] I want to live inside this (evening) (eveeeening...) Where the gold is on the (ceiling) (ceiliiiing...) You're sitting right across from (me now) (me nooow...) And everything has (meaning) (meaaaaning...) Don't tell me that it's (leaving) (leaviiing...) Let me stay inside this (dreaming) (dreaaaming...) One more minute in this (golden) (gooolden...) One more minute in this (light) (liiiight...) (light...) (ight...) [OUTRO] Every perfect moment always (will have been) (with you..)
