Verse 1
To me, the only thing left after a while
was that night we watched
documentaries up through morning
[and then you] kicked me out. [huh!]
[You] opened up your screen door
and threw me off, the porch
it was summer then and I drove home whistling
down the pike.
Chorus
And then there was that.
Our one sweet night together.
And under highway signs
Post-chorus
I watched our love start fluttering,
dissipating.
I counted all the headlights
to make sure I was all right.
Bridge
[palm muted]
Now I'm wondering is it me or is it me
that can't see silver linings?
So I fucked it up, I watched you go
I saw my hand not dailing the phone.
All I'm left to do is remember the dull room.
Verse 2
[regular struming]
We sat in blue stream light
watching the strike of '59.
[I] dreamed of wrecking my underwear.
Oh can't I touch your cheeks somewhere
under dirt filled rainy nights
with my socks stuck in the mud.
Please come, dive in, puddles with me
Chorus
Our one sweet night together.
Our one sweet night together.
Our one sweet night together,
and under highway signs
Post-chorus/ Outro
I watched out love gone fluttering,
dissipating
I counted all the headlights
to make sure I was alright!
