Tonight Looks Good on Us

(Inspired by “Tonight Looks Good on You” — romantic, flattering)
Verse 1
You slipped on that faded jean jacket of mine,Spun in the mirror, said, “How’s it look from behind?”I laughed, said, “Girl, you could wear my worstAnd still make heaven put in work.”Streetlights catch the freckles on your nose,Bonfire sparks dance round your toes.You tuck your hair behind one ear,Say, “You okay? You look kinda here… and not here.”
Verse 2
I shake off the dust from the day’s old fight,Let your smile drag me into the night.Radio hums some small-town tune,Crickets join under a lazy moon.You lean on me as the fire grows low,Whisper, “Baby, let the old pain go.”And for a moment time stands still—The world fades out, it’s just your will.
Pre-Chorus
You turn my battlefields into stars,Just by standing where you are.
Chorus
Yeah, tonight looks good on us,Wrapped in sparks and borrowed dust.You in my jacket, me in your trust,Both of us climbing out of the rough.I don’t know what tomorrow does—But damn, tonightLooks good on us.
Bridge
If every night could feel this way—I’d never fear the break of day.
