Just This Night

[Verse 1 – She] You walked in like a quiet breeze Eyes too calm, hands at ease Said you needed just one drink Now here we are on the edge, don’t blink [Verse 2 – He] You don’t smile, but your voice is low Every word lands soft and slow Didn’t mean to get this near But your shadow feels so clear [Pre-Chorus – Both, alternating] (She) We both know how these nights end (He) Strangers now, but maybe friends (She) I won’t ask, and you won’t stay (Both) But maybe we could drift away [Chorus – Both, harmonized] Just this night, no promise made Two souls meeting in the shade A touch, a sigh, a borrowed flame No one here to call our names Let the jazz fill all the space Don’t explain, don’t leave a trace We’re not wrong, we’re not right We’re just here — just this night [Verse 3 – She] You talk like you’ve been hurt before But never slam an open door Me, I like the in-between Where nothing’s sharp and nothing’s clean [Bridge – He then She] (He) Maybe I’ll forget your face (She) Or I’ll pretend we never met (Both) But for now, no need to run This song’s not over yet [Final Chorus – Both, soft harmony] Just this night, no past to fix No future plans, no tangled tricks A glass, a laugh, a breath, a glance One small, unscripted slow dance We’re not wrong, we’re not right We’re just here — just this night
