(Verse 1)
The bass was shaking the dirty pool
People were shouting, playing the fool
I was leaning on the wall with a whiskey in my hand
Watching you walk out, making a stand
You slipped out the door, said, "This ain't my scene"
I followed your shadow, if you know what I mean
Caught up in the cool air, under the streetlights
Leaving the chaos for a quiet night.
(Chorus)
We left the party, the noise, and the crowd
Found a quiet frequency where we could be loud
In a room full of strangers just passing the time
I found a genuine connection, and a reason to rhyme
Yeah, the night's just beginning, the music's on pause
Walking away was the ultimate cause.
(Verse 2)
Strolling the campus, you caught me off guard
Said noticing me wasn't very hard
Then you talked about France and the culinary arts
Wrestling rings and singing from the heart
I laughed and I said, "Why not mix up the scheme?
Step into the ring singing your own entrance theme!"
You called me a genius, a spark in the dark
Said I'd be your muse, and you'd hit the mark.
(Chorus)
We left the party, the noise, and the crowd
Found a quiet frequency where we could be loud
In a room full of strangers just passing the time
I found a genuine connection, and a reason to rhyme
Yeah, the night's just beginning, the music's on pause
Walking away was the ultimate cause.
(Bridge)
Up to the third floor, clearing the space
Put Janne's beach decor back in its place
Moved the hair extensions right off the couch
Poured out the red wine to see what we're about
Got a bowl full of strawberries, sweet and so cold
A little gap between us, a story unfolding.
(Guitar Solo - Soft, upbeat, and rhythmic)
(Outro)
So clink goes the glass, cheers to the wine
You're singing on the fly, and the rhythm is fine
Tell me your stories, I'm leaning right near
The best part of the party... is sitting right here.
Yeah, the best part of the party... is sitting right here.
