Cheap red wine in a paper cup
Shoes by the door
But we never go out
You trace maps on my shoulder blade
Say my name like you’re working it out

Phone screen face-down on the counter
Half-true jokes and a sideways grin
You lean in like you’re telling a secret
Breath on my neck
And it pulls me in

I felt it tonight
In the way that you barely touched me
In the way that you didn’t rush me
I felt it tonight
In the silence between your laughter
In the pause like a falling rafter
I felt it tonight
Like a slow wave under my skin
Like a quiet door swinging open
I felt it tonight

You talk big plans for a different city
I nod once
But my eyes stay here
Your thumb draws circles on the table
Every loop saying stay
Stay near

You say you’re scared of the morning
Of coffee cups and the honest light
But your hand finds mine on the sofa
Holding on like it might be right

I felt it tonight
In the way that you barely touched me
In the way that you didn’t rush me
I felt it tonight
In the silence between your laughter
In the pause like a falling rafter
I felt it tonight
Like a slow wave under my skin
Like a quiet door swinging open
I felt it tonight

Lights down low
Just your outline
Breathing slow
Sharing one mind (oh)
You say
“This could ruin everything”
I say
“Maybe that’s the good kind”

I felt it tonight
In the way that you barely touched me
In the way that you didn’t rush me
I felt it tonight
In the silence between your laughter
In the pause like a falling rafter
I felt it tonight
Like a slow wave under my skin
Like a quiet door swinging open
I felt it tonight
