[Verse 1]  
The party’s breathing down the hallway, shoulder to shoulder,  
Someone’s shouting my name like it’s something they can’t control.  
You tug my sleeve, say, “Quick—this way,” like you’ve done it before,  
And the lock clicks quiet behind us as we slip out the door.
[Pre-Chorus]  
Cold air, hot cheeks, city humming under streetlight gold,  
You laugh, “We’re saints for surviving,” but you don’t mean a word.  
I say, “If we get caught, we’re finished,” you say, “Baby, we’re bold,”  
Then you tilt the bottle like a dare and let the night unfold.
[Chorus]  
So raise your glass to the gorgeous disaster,  
We talk like angels but we move like actors.  
I’ll be your secret, you be my after—  
Champagne on the fire escape,  
Dripping down our hands like a mistake we’ll never take back.
[Verse 2]  
Through the window: exes and strangers, trading rumors for fun,  
My reputation in a tuxedo, yours in a dress on the run.  
You say, “They love to watch it burn,” and point at the room like a stage,  
“Let them keep the spotlight—we’ve got our own kind of brave.”
[Pre-Chorus]  
I tell you, “I can’t keep pretending I don’t want this,” and you grin,  
Like you won a bet against my better judgment again.  
Sirens somewhere far away, but we’re laughing over the rail,  
You press your mouth to my ear and whisper, “Choose the story we tell.”
[Chorus]  
So raise your glass to the gorgeous disaster,  
We talk like angels but we move like actors.  
I’ll be your secret, you be my after—  
Champagne on the fire escape,  
Dripping down our hands like a mistake we’ll never take back.
[Bridge]  
Count to three—no alibis, no speeches, no disguise,  
Just two hearts doing backflips in a city full of eyes.  
But the laughter turns to footsteps climbing up the stairs,  
And your smile breaks its rhythm like it suddenly got scared.
[Final Chorus]  
So raise your glass to the gorgeous disaster,  
We talk like angels but we move like actors.  
I’ll be your secret—no, I can’t be your after—  
Champagne on the fire escape,  
Freezing on our fingers while we measure what it takes.
[Outro]  
The door swings wide, the music spills out like a flood,  
A voice calls your name, and it sobers up your blood.  
You hand me back my jacket like it’s evidence to hide,  
Then you climb in through the window…  
And I stay outside.
