Maybe it was that smoky back booth Neon light painting your tattoos
Kept me from seeing that hard truth Maybe it was that vinyl love song
Thought those words were ours but I was wrong Only heard what I wanted to
My mom and all my friends saw right through you
If I opened up my eyes I would have to
Every midnight street light flashing red Every back road slow down curve we went
Straight to the top of the hill

We were gonna be a small town love story But I didn't know the girl in my shotgun seat
Looking back I wish I would have known Not to kiss you with my eyes closed
Oh, oh, oh
Slow dance so close I'd hold you Late night string lights with your head on mine
My white empowered you At theulated power I would only
Hold you for you, for you, oh Eli
Stack and do you know what you did Was what she did
And a kiss in class Because to all the cross around you
My mom and all my friends saw right through you
If I opened up my eyes I would have to
Every midnight streetlight flashing red
Every backward slowdown curve we went straight through
We were gonna be a small town love story
But I didn't know the girl in my shotgun seat
Looking back I wish I would have known
Not to kiss you with my eyes closed
