[Verse 1] The diner sign is dim and red Your bike leans by the laundromat You laugh like you’re trying not to Like the whole block might hear that I got two cans in a paper bag You got that look, half shy, half brave Main Street’s empty but for us And the June bugs in the shade [Pre-Chorus] Nobody knows How close we lean Your hand found mine Like it’s always been [Chorus] Quiet love, loud heart We stay soft in the dark Quiet love, loud heart Right here, right here Your name on my tongue Like a spark in my chest Quiet love, loud heart We’re the best-kept mess [Verse 2] At the county pool, we missed the splash Sat on towels with soggy shoes You shared your fries, I stole one Then you smiled like I meant to The whole town moves by five o’clock But we drift slow past the feed store You kissed me quick behind the trucks And I wanted that one more [Pre-Chorus] Nobody knows How close we lean Your hand found mine Like it’s always been [Chorus] Quiet love, loud heart We stay soft in the dark Quiet love, loud heart Right here, right here Your name on my tongue Like a spark in my chest Quiet love, loud heart We’re the best-kept mess [Bridge] Let them keep their parade Their flashing, their noise We got porch swing rhythms And chipped paint joy If the whole world spins fast We can drift on slow Two hands, one secret And nobody knows [Chorus] Quiet love, loud heart We stay soft in the dark Quiet love, loud heart Right here, right here Your name on my tongue Like a spark in my chest Quiet love, loud heart We’re the best-kept mess [Outro] The diner sign is dim and red But you make the whole night glow Quiet love, loud heart That’s the way we go
