Lyrics

[Verse 1 - Male]

Neon on the bottles

But my glass still feels half cold

Thumb runnin’ that old label

Like I’m tryin’ to smooth out what she wrote

Bartender knows my story

Keeps my secrets, keeps ‘em poured

Got my hat pulled low, heart on hold

Boots nailed to this floor

[Verse 2 - Female]

I walk in, boots click, room slows

But you stare straight through your drink

See that armor in your shoulders

See a man too scared to blink

I slide up one barstool

Say, “That seat taken, cowboy?”

You shrug like you got nothin’ left

But I can hear the quiet noise

[Chorus - Both]

You’re guarded, but I get it

You’re breakin’, but you won’t admit it

Got a past that you still carry

Like a hundred pounds of stone

But I ain’t here to fix you

Just sippin’ while I sit here with you

If you’re stranded in this heartache alone at this bar

I can be a soft place for your hard scars

[Verse 3 - Male Rap]

Yeah

Said you saw it in my posture, pain in my posture (uh)

Ring mark pale on my finger, ghost of a promise

Two-step tracks on the floor where we used to dance

Now it’s one man, one stool, one last chance

To feel nothin’

Till you laughed low, little southern thunder

You said, “Hurt like that can tear you under”

I smirked, “Guess I’m livin’ proof”

You said, “Or it frees you, if you tell the truth”

[Pre-Chorus - Female]

So I asked about her name

You just traced your whiskey glass

But your eyes said, “Stay right there”

So I did, we let the minutes pass

[Chorus - Both]

You’re guarded, but I get it

You’re breakin’, but you won’t admit it

Got a past that you still carry

Like a hundred pounds of stone

But I ain’t here to fix you

Just sippin’ while I sit here with you

If you’re stranded in this heartache alone at this bar

I can be a soft place for your hard scars

[Bridge - Duet]

[low male vocal register]

I said, “I don’t need another angel leavin’”

[female vocals softer]

She said, “Boy, calm down, I ain’t even

Ask you for forever, just your honest 3 a.m.

You can keep your walls up

I’ll just lean on them”

[male rap, half-sung]

Told you I’m a little too broke for love

You said, “Broke things still can hold enough

Room for a sunrise, room for a start”

You tapped my chest light

Said, “I can hear your heart”

[Chorus - Both]

[Chorus]

[Outro - Both]

Male:

Neon’s goin’ dim now

But I ain’t leavin’ like I came

You took the edge off all that sorrow

Just by sayin’ my first name

Female:

Maybe this is just one night

Or maybe it’s a brand-new road

But I’ll remember how your hurt eyes

Finally let a little hope show

Both:

Two strangers on barstools

Trading stories over old scars

You were guarded, I was patient

Now your heart’s leanin’ up against my heart
