Mellow Fadeout 2（版本 2）

Verse

Sun's down slow across your face again

Bare feet on the tailgate where we left off last night

Your momma's cookin' supper in the backyard light

I'm sippin' sweet tea, feelin' like I got my life right

A fly buzzes through your hair as you pass me a plate

Cucumber and cream cheese sandwich from that same old place

You tell me 'bout a boy you used to date

Left you waitin', but I think it was just great

Your daddy's callin' from the porch, says dinner's ready in five

We sit down quiet as a summer breeze, no more goodbyes

I hold your hand under the silverware glow

Nobody talks 'bout where we go from here tonight

Pre-Chorus

Is this what love is supposed to feel like?

Not the chase or the fire, but just... us, still moving

Do you believe in second chances when they come around twice?

Or was it always just the tailgate's mellow fadeout light?

Chorus

Mellow fadeout light, sweet tea and your smile

I'm not askin' for forever, just one more mile

Sun's down slow across your face again

This right here is my idea of win

Mellow fadeout light, no rush, no test

Just your hand in mine on this backroad nest

Crickets are chirpin', and I swear it's real

If tonight turns out to be the only thing that feels

Verse

I took a picture with my phone under the porch lamp

You laughed at me for doin' something so lame

Said we should just live these moments instead of keep 'em locked away

I said that's exactly what I've been tryin' to say

Your little brother came out in his swim trunks and a crown

Built us a sandcastle on the tailgate, made it sound like a castle town

You told him 'bout the time you caught a fish so big it dragged you under

I said that's my favorite story too, right now, at least I think it is

Pre-Chorus

Is this what love is supposed to feel like?

Not the chase or the fire, but just... us, still moving

Do you believe in second chances when they come around twice?

Or was it always just the tailgate's mellow fadeout light?

Chorus

Mellow fadeout light, sweet tea and your smile

I'm not askin' for forever, just one more mile

Sun's down slow across your face again

This right here is my idea of win

Mellow fadeout light, no rush, no test

Just your hand in mine on this backroad nest

Crickets are chirpin', and I swear it's real

If tonight turns out to be the only thing that feels

Bridge

I don't need forever if it's just us two right here

Tailgate's worn from summers we ain't even been through yet

You take my hand, and we just walk on down the road

No map, no compass, just your fingers in mine, glowin' gold

Chorus

Mellow fadeout light, sweet tea and your smile

I'm not askin' for forever, just one more mile

Sun's down slow across your face again

This right here is my idea of win

Mellow fadeout light, no rush, no test

Just your hand in mine on this backroad nest

Crickets are chirpin', and I swear it's real

If tonight turns out to be the only thing that feels
