Verse 1

Salt in the air, neon humming low

Barefoot boards and a barroom band

Stairway plays like it already knows

What it’s doing to my shaking hands

You’re leaning in the half-lit glow

Laughing like you don’t see me stare

But every step you take is slow

Like you’re daring me to meet you there

Pre-Chorus

Clock on the wall don’t miss a beat

Every second cuts me deep

I keep my courage on a short leash

Living whole nights inside my head

Chorus

(Hook)

I wonder if you’re as cute as I think you are

Standing there under barroom stars

Brown hair, green eyes, breaking my guard

I wonder if you’re as cute as I think you are

One slow song, one chance too far

Do I let this moment die… or do I walk your way from where I am?

Verse 2

Your eyes find mine then drift away

Like maybe you’re wondering too

Slender frame in a lazy sway

Every move saying what you gonna do?

I don’t need heaven, I don’t need fast

Just your body close, moving slow

But time’s a thief and it’s stealing fast

From a night I don’t want to let go

Pre-Chorus

Maybe you’ve got a life I’ll never touch

Maybe I’m just a passing thought

But I know how regret shows up

When you don’t take the shot you got

Chorus

(Hook)

I wonder if you’re as cute as I think you are

Or if I’m drunk on who we are

One look in and my cover’s blown

I wonder if you’re as cute as I think you are

If I stay right here, I lose my nerve

If I move your way, I might just learn

Bridge

It never plays out how you expect

Fear always talks like it knows best

But this night feels like borrowed time

And borrowed time don’t wait around

So I breathe you in, I cross the floor

Let the band fade into the sound

If I fall, at least I fall toward

Something real I finally found

Final Chorus

I wondered if you were as cute as I thought

Now you’re right here and the world just stops

Slow dance spinning, hands unlocked

Yeah, I wondered if you were as cute as I thought

Turns out the truth hits harder than doubt

Some things you don’t think — you just find outBeach bar quiet, lights burn low

Morning’s coming, I know it is

But tonight I didn’t let it go

I didn’t leave it just the way it lives

In my head
