Better Than This

I go out dancing tonight

Went to hit up the bartender for a little tequila and ice

But never made it that far

Cause I saw you, alone, drinking whiskey in a corner booth

And I just knew I had to have you

Dark hair, worn a little too long

Eyes that shone brighter than those neon lights

Flickering in the window in the dark of night

A smile that turned me inside out

And melting into a puddle on the ground

The sound of your voice as you whisper in my ear

Made me wanna get the hell out of here

And find a quiet, dark road

Where we could be alone

Oh whoa

Before I knew it, they were yelling last call

I couldn't believe we'd talked for that long

You asked me if I needed a ride home

I knew I should've said no

But it was no use

I was just too fargone 

Dark hair, worn a little too long

Eyes that shown brighter than those neon lights

Now fading in your rear-view

A smiled that turned me inside out

And melting into a puddle on the ground

The sound of your voice as you sing along with Kenney Chesney

Made me feel you were even more undeniably sexy

I didn't wanna go home

Because it would mean I'd spend the night alone

Oh whoa

We make it back to my place

Where you finally tell me your name

I invite you in; a move I'd never in a million years do

But tonight my common sense isn't telling me

This is too fast or too soon

Instead of a simple yes or no

You put your arms around me

Pulling me in close

And your lips meet mine in a kiss

That leaves me more than just breathless

Dark hair, worn a little too long

Eyes that shine brighter than those neon lights

That had been left behind as we crossed that county line

A smile that turned me inside out

And melting into a puddle on the ground

The sound of your voice wavering 

As you say my name

Neither of us making another move

Too afraid 

Ooo

Just the thought of your touch

Has me reaching for your tee

And tugging at the hem to pull it up and off

Your hands find the zipper

To my little black dress

But first you pause to ask

"You sure you wanna do this?" 

I know it might be crazy

And some might call it a mysterious coincidence

A right place and time kinda thing

But I know it's the work of a divine conspiracy

So go ahead and lay your hands on me

Because there's no place else I'd rather be

Dark hair, worn a little too long

Eyes that shine brighter than a string of lights

On a cold December night

A smile that turned me inside out 

And melting into a puddle on the ground

The sound of your voice, the warm breath on my neck

As we get tangled up in bed

And the taste of forever on my lips

With a never ending night my only wish

Cause there's nothing better than this
