💞Parking Lot Lights

*[Intro]* Hey—hey! Whoa-oh! *[Verse 1]* Train station coffee in a paper cup hand Checked my reflection in the window glass again You said “blue jacket,” I said “don’t laugh at me” My heartbeat stumbling over cracked concrete We knew each other through flickering screens Late-night voice notes and pixel dreams Every bad signal, every dropped line Now your shoes scrape close to mine You wave once slow Then cover your grin And suddenly the whole world rushes in *[Pre-Chorus]* All those tiny little loading signs Led me here tonight *[Chorus]* First time, first touch Laughing way too much Like we skipped the hard part somehow First glance, real skin Let the whole room spin I don’t wanna calm this down Perfect little chaos in the parking lot lights Your voice sounds warmer in the middle of the night Whoa-oh! [gang shouts] We were miles for so long Now you’re right here singing wrong *[Verse 2]* You talk fast when you’re nervous too Trip on your words like I always do You smell like rain and cigarette smoke And the old cassette in your car goes broke We walk nowhere just killing time Reading old messages out loud in rhyme You bump my shoulder, miss the curb And laugh so hard it swallows the world Ha ha ha ha ha... He he he he he he... Hmmmm... yeah... I knew your typing style by heart But not the freckles across your arms *[Pre-Chorus]* Every countdown every delayed train Worth the waiting just the same *[Chorus]* First time, first touch Laughing way too much Like we skipped the hard part somehow First glance, real skin Let the whole room spin I don’t wanna calm this down Perfect little chaos in the parking lot lights Your voice sounds warmer in the middle of the night Whoa-oh! We were miles for so long Now you’re right here singing wrong *[Bridge]* No more frozen frames! No more countdown days! You’re taller than I pictured And softer in strange ways! Hey! Hey! Hey! *[Final Chorus]* First time, first touch Laughing way too much Everything feels bright and bent Missed trains, cheap drinks Talking over everything Like we’ve always kinda meant Perfect little chaos under fluorescent skies Your smile keeps shaking all the static from my mind Whoa-oh! We were miles for so long Now I know where I belong *[Outro]* Whoa-oh... Whoa-oh...
