[Verse 1]
Smoke in my hair
Crickets in the dark
You laugh at something small
And it lands right in my heart

Your shoulder almost touching
Like it’s the easiest thing
I’m staring at the sparks
Trying hard not to grin

[Chorus]
I can’t believe you’re sitting here
Right next to me by the fire
Talking like you’ve always known
Every wish
Every quiet desire
I’ve never been the one they choose
Never been the girl they see
But you’re leaning in
Like maybe
You could really like me

[Verse 2]
You hand me your jacket
Say it’s getting cold
Your fingers brush mine
And the world just folds

You say my name so softly
Like it’s something sweet
I’m counting every heartbeat
Where your knee meets my knee

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
All my stories till tonight
Ended before they could start
Always in the background
Fading into the dark
But here in this orange glow
Your eyes stay only on me
I don’t know what happens next
But I want to believe

[Chorus]
