Stay For The Drop

Got here early

Wristbands on

Shoes full of dust

Laughing in the entry line

Spilling secrets that we half-trust

You steal my phone

Selfies crooked

Colors too bright

We say

"Remember this"

Before we even see the lights

When the countdown starts

And the screen goes white

I'm not scared of the dark

If you're by my side

Hands on my shoulders

Pull me closer

Closer

Stay for the drop with me

When it all goes loud

Don't leave

If the floor disappears

You're the ground I feel

We'll jump 'til the air runs out

Sing off-key

Still scream it proud

If the world spins off the beat

I've got you

You've got me

Lost my voice

Somewhere in the second song

You just grin

Mouth the words

I mouth them wrong

You pour water

Over my head

We both freeze

Then that melody

Hits my chest

Drops to my knees

When the lights go low

And the crowd turns gold

Every heartbeat syncs

To a rhythm we hold

Arms on each other

Pull me closer

Closer

If the volume fades to nothing

And the speakers all fall silent too

We'd be laughing in the parking lot

Stomping puddles like a makeshift groove

'Cause it isn't just the stage we love

It's the spaces in between

Where your shoulder hits my shoulder

And it feels like seventeen

Oh-oh

Stay for the drop

Oh-oh

We never stop

Oh-oh

Stay for the drop

I've got you

You've got me
