Paris, Kentucky [Verse 1: soft male vocal, intimate late-night delivery, minimal beat] Out late last night in Paris, Kentucky, not the lovers one And I thought, “God, if I could mason-jar these feelings now” I don’t think we could work this out [Chorus: bright EDM-pop lift, pulsing synths, layered harmonies] If this won’t keep, then it won’t keep forever They’ll say we ran the roads too late They’ll say that I should know better If this won’t keep, then it won’t keep forever We’ll call it love for one night Let’s make this hurt wear better Let’s make this hurt wear better [Verse 2: conversational male vocal, beat returns, nostalgic energy] We were out late in Paris, Kentucky, not the lovers one You looked so good standing there with your hand lost in the holler air Taking pictures of us with the cigarettes Out by the smokehouse We breathed in the cool Bourbon County air On our own, making bad ideas feel innocent Getting drunk on the night we were living in [Chorus 2: bigger chorus, stronger drums, emotional vocal push] If this turns wild, let it turn wild together They’ll say we ran the roads too late They’ll say that I should know better If this turns wild, let it turn wild together We’ll call it love anyhow Let’s make this hurt wear better Let’s make this hurt wear better [Bridge: vocal chant, filtered synths, rising tension] Let’s make this hurt Make this hurt Make this hurt Make this hurt Let’s make this hurt wear better We were out late in Paris Let’s make this hurt wear better Let’s make this hurt Make this hurt Make this hurt Make this hurt Let’s make this hurt wear better [Final Chorus: full festival-pop drop, stacked harmonies, cathartic] If we fall hard, then we fall hard together They’ll say we were green and young They’ll say that you should know better If we fall hard, then we fall hard together We’ll call it worth the damage Let’s make this hurt wear better Let’s make this hurt wear better [Outro: stripped vocal chant, fading synth pads] If we fall hard Let’s make this hurt wear better If we fall hard Let’s make this hurt wear better If we fall hard Let’s make this hurt wear better Let’s make this hurt wear better
