A starry sparkle is in your dress
And a countdown in the lights
There is excitement to the quiet tonight
Light enough to bother,
But soft enough to like,
Your expression sets the mood just right
You say that spontaneity, it ain’t your thing
You say
So look me in the eyes
As you pull closer to my side
Open up your lips
Tell me i’m everything that you wished
How you never wanted more
Everyone else is such a bore
Cheesy lines are paper thin
But I’ll let you get away with it
You’re whispering cliches
Like a hallmark movie knight
And we finished our first bottles of wine
Who wants to be real
When atmosphere is light
We can keep all of the shadows out of sight
You say that spontaneity, it ain’t your thing
You say
You know all the things that I never said
You paint me red
So look me in the eyes
As you pull closer to my side
Open up your lips
Tell me i’m everything that you wished
How you never wanted more
Everyone else is such a bore
Cheesy lines are paper thin
But I’ll let you get away with it
