Under the Headlights

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You climbed into my truck like a smoke show in the sun Three hours down the highway, talking like we'd always done You told me all your hard-earned truths, I gave you mine for free Somewhere past the county line, you had all of me [Pre-Chorus] No map could've found that turn No warning sign could make me learn [Chorus] It was you and me, one long day Green eyes turning blue where the sunlight played Paddle boards leaning by a mountain view That first kiss lasting longer than we meant it to A blanket by the water, your head against my chest You let me hold you, and I forgot the rest If every road I take leads back to that night I'll keep driving till I find you in the headlights [Verse 2] We ate lunch by the lake with the whole world spread out wide Your stories tasted better with the breeze along the shoreline Then we paddled past the morning to a place above the trees You smiled before I kissed you, like you knew what I would need [Pre-Chorus] I tried to make the moment slow But some kinds of forever start before you know [Chorus] It was you and me, one long day Green eyes turning blue where the sunlight played Paddle boards leaning by a mountain view That first kiss lasting longer than we meant it to A blanket by the water, your head against my chest You let me hold you, and I forgot the rest If every road I take leads back to that night I'll keep driving till I find you in the headlights [Bridge] Dark road home, your hand in mine We found a wounded owl beneath the county sign Wrapped it in a jacket, called somebody who could help Then you gave me one last kiss I still feel everywhere else [Final Chorus] It was you and me, one long day Your green eyes turning blue in the fading light of day Mountain air and water, your heartbeat next to mine A little wild, a little broken, somehow perfectly timed That blanket by the shoreline, your head against my chest You let me hold you, and I knew I'd found the best And if you ask me when I knew your love was right It was that last goodnight kiss underneath the headlights [Outro] That last goodnight kiss underneath the headlights I climbed into my truck, but you stayed with me all night
