It’s past midnight
This bed is too wide
I’m thinking about you
And your baby blue eyes
The scene is so loud
Over again in my mind
We’re dancing together
About to cross that line
Until you storm out (oh)
Without saying goodbye (oh)
A subtle confession (oh)
A crash mid‑flight (oh)
And now it’s gonna stay in my memories forever
Remember how we swayed to those melodies together?
Wish it was just a cloud in the sky, baby, no bad weather
But now it’s gonna stain my memories forever
Whatever’s in your heart
You left it at the bar
You broke down in my arms
What am I supposed to feel?
And whether you tell me or not
Pretend that I can’t read your thoughts
Go blame it on tequila shots
I know that shit was real
And now it’s gonna stay in my memories forever
Remember how we swayed to those melodies together?
Wish it was just a cloud in the sky, baby, no bad weather
But now it’s gonna stain my memories forever
Oh, now it’s gonna stay in my memories forever
Remember how we swayed to those melodies together?
Wish it was just a cloud in the sky, baby, no bad weather
But now it’s gonna stain my memories forever
