[Verse 1]
Lying next to you
We could be on the moon
Tell me you’re not leaving
'Cause you're always on my mind

Riding through the pines
See you in the red light
And everything is on fire
Let's take it down
To the heart
Let's take it down
To where the loving starts
Where we're just kids in the dark
