The words are hushed, lets not get busted
Just lay entwined here
Undiscovered
Safe and near from all the stupid questions
Hey did you get some?
Man that is so dumb
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't here
So we can get some


CHORUS x1

Cm Cm G# G#
Hands down this is the best day
D# D#
I can ever remember
A# A#
Always remember
Cm Cm G# G#
The sound of your stereo, the dim of the soft lights
D# D# A# A#
The scent of your hair, that you twirl in your fingers
Cm Cm G# G#
And the time on the clock, when we realized it's so late
D# D# A# A#
And this walk that we shared, together
Cm Cm G# G#
The streets were wet and the gate was locked
D# D# A# A#
So I jumped it, and I let you in
Cm Cm G# G#
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
D# D# A# A#
And you kissed me like you meant it
Cm Cm G# G#
And I knew, that you meant it
D# D# A# A#
That you meant it, that you meant it
Cm Cm G# G#
And I knew, that you meant it,
D# D#
That you meant it
