The neon sign is buzzing, but I'm looking at your eyes
A million miles of highway couldn't match this sweet surprise
You draw me in so close I feel the rhythm of your breath
We're burning up the midnight 'til there's nothing but us left
We parked the heavy Chevy where the streetlights fade away
There's magic in the shadows when we don't know what to say
Your hand across the center console softly brushes mine
A slow and steady fever that is slipping down my spine
The radio is playing something tender, low, and deep
I'm making silent promises I'm hoping I can keep
You tilt your head and smile like you know exactly how
To make me wanna drop the world and hold you right here, now
Oh, you're my small town smoke signal calling out my name
Lighting up the darkness with a gentle, steady flame
I'll follow every ember just to see where it might go
Lost inside the fire of a love that's burning slow
Burning slow, burning slow
Yeah, I just want you to know
The whiskey in the bottle isn't making me this warm
It's the way you lean into me like a shelter from the storm
I trace the little silver chain that rests upon your skin
You're opening a doorway and I'm ready to walk in
The engine's cooling off but my desire's heating up
I'm drinking from the bottom of an overflowing cup
You bite your lip and look at me with secrets in your stare
There's electricity and heavy honey in the air
Oh, you're my small town smoke signal calling out my name
Lighting up the darkness with a gentle, steady flame
I'll follow every ember just to see where it might go
Lost inside the fire of a love that's burning slow
Burning slow, burning slow
Yeah, I just want you to know
The silence of the dashboard only amplifies the heat
We're miles away from anyone upon this quiet street
I see my destiny reflected in the midnight glow
Whisper my name... Sayed in your soul...
The shadows dance around us like they're putting on a show
My heart is locked on yours, and it is all I'll ever know
You don't even have to say a word tonight
Just let me pull you closer to the light
'Cause you're my small town smoke signal calling out my name
Lighting up the darkness with a gentle, steady flame
I'll follow every ember just to see where it might go
Lost inside the fire of a love that's burning slow
A million miles of highway couldn't match this sweet surprise
