Corner Store Light (Version 4)

Verse

Empty parking lot where the neon bleeds into gold

You're rolling down your window with a quarter I don't need

Dust on the dashboard from a trip you never took

Radio static where our names go soft and loose

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why this feels like forever, not goodbye

Say it's just a Tuesday, nothing but tonight

Chorus

So let the whole town flicker out at four

We'll keep dancing till we can't feel that floor anymore

I'm young enough to believe it won't end fast

Keep your headlights on and stay, don't go too fast

Verse

Your momma's diner, closed since Friday

You're sneaking in through the back door like you own it now

Bottle caps scattered where we made a circle around

This block was ours before the lights went down

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why this feels like forever, not goodbye

Say it's just a Tuesday, nothing but tonight

Chorus

So let the whole town flicker out at four

We'll keep dancing till we can't feel that floor anymore

I'm young enough to believe it won't end fast

Keep your headlights on and stay, don't go too fast

Bridge

Maybe forever's just this corner store light

Never turning off, never running out of time

Someday I'll be sitting in a darkened room at five

Wishing back on every streetlamp burning bright

Chorus

So let the whole town flicker out at four

We'll keep dancing till we can't feel that floor anymore

I'm young enough to believe it won't end fast

Keep your headlights on and stay, don't go too fast
