ONE MORE LOOK
[Verse 1]
We were hidin’ out where the lights ran low,
You were talkin’ soft, just takin’ it slow.
But I was somewhere else in my mind,
Caught up in a face I’d left behind.
That sideways grin, those late-night drives,
The kind of heat that don’t survive.
You saw it hit me, didn’t ask why,
But your quiet stare felt like goodbye.
[Verse 2]
Your hand found mine... steady, warm
But my heart was leanin’ toward a different storm.
He’s the one who never looked back,
Quick to charm, but slow to act.
I never meant to get pulled that far,
But some flames don’t care who you are.
You must’ve known I wasn’t quite there,
Not all the way gone, but halfway scared.
[Pre-Chorus]
You didn’t say much... just let it breathe,
But I felt the room start to leave.
[Chorus]
I stayed… or maybe I just stood still,
Frozen between want and will.
He burned fast, you burned true,
And I was caught right where I stood.
A heartbeat away from slippin’ through,
Thinkin’ ‘bout what I might lose.
Not a word, not a sign,
Just me hangin’ on that line.
[Bridge]
Then the door swung wide like a memory spillin’,
Same coat, same grin I knew,
Like a bad idea dressed brand new.
He leaned in close and said, “Remember when?”
Slick as ever, pullin’ me in.
Said, “Let’s get lost, just like before,”
But I wasn’t sure I wanted more.
[Final Chorus]
My breath hitched, my chest got tight,
He was the dark side of a reckless night.
He laughed like he already won,
Told me, “You know where you belong.”
You were still there, quiet and clear,
Holdin’ space for me to disappear.
And I just stood, lost in the spin,
Caught between now and what might’ve been.
[Outro]
I turned my head, took one more look,
At all the pages that man ripped from my book.
Then I found you… still right there,
A confident calm, eyes that care.
I grabbed your hand with a half-smile sigh,
Whispered, “Let’s go someplace quiet tonight.”
And as we passed his frozen grin,
You squeezed my hand… like love always wins.
Yeah, love always wins!
