Verse
Six a.m. lights hum awake
Rows of jackets, price tags shake
You come through the door with the cold on your skin
Order a coffee, and my whole shift begins
I fumble the receipt, forget the change
You laugh like sunlight through the window pane
Pre-Chorus
What is this static, climbing up my spine
Every register bell sounds like a sign
Tell me why one look from you
Turns the fluorescent gold and new
Chorus
You walk in and I shine where I stand
Straighten my collar, steady my hand
Every aisle turns electric and bright
Just from you saying hello tonight
I shine where I stand
I shine where I stand
Verse
Tuesday you're back, same worn-in shoes
Ask for directions I already knew
You linger by the counter, not in a rush
Talking about nothing, but my heart's making a fuss
The clock says closing, but I don't check the time
I'm folding sweaters just to stand in your line
Pre-Chorus
What is this static, climbing up my spine
Every register bell sounds like a sign
Tell me why one look from you
Turns the fluorescent gold and new
Chorus
You walk in and I shine where I stand
Straighten my collar, steady my hand
Every aisle turns electric and bright
Just from you saying hello tonight
I shine where I stand
I shine where I stand
Bridge
Maybe it's silly, a stock room romance
Built out of small talk and one lucky glance
But you asked for my number, not just for the sale
And now every quiet minute feels like it could tell
This whole story different, this whole life turns bright
Chorus
You walk in and I shine where I stand
Straighten my collar, steady my hand
Every aisle turns electric and bright
Just from you saying hello tonight
Now you're asking me out, and it's clear
I've been shining because you were near
I shine where I stand
I shine where I stand
