Phone Light Sway

Lyrics
Concert in the park and the sun is going low Everybody's lifting up their phones to catch the glow You're standing next to me, and we don't know each other's names But your shoulder finds my shoulder and the night is never the same The bass is in my ribcage and the lights are turning gold A little tiny galaxy of screens against the cold I'm not filming any of it, I'm just watching you One small light, then a hundred more Sway with me like we've done this before Phone light sway, sway with me Like a sky of stars we get to be Hold it up, let it shine Strangers for a song, but your hand finds mine Phone light sway, don't look away Let the whole night stay Singer on the stage hits a note that breaks the air Your smile hits the same one like you knew that it was there We're laughing at the chorus that we both got wrong Half a verse of mumbling and the other half is strong You ask me for my favorite line, I tell you it's the one Where the whole crowd goes quiet right before the drum I'm not asking for forever, just the length of this refrain One small light, then a hundred more Sway with me like we've done this before Phone light sway, sway with me Like a sky of stars we get to be Hold it up, let it shine Strangers for a song, but your hand finds mine Phone light sway, don't look away Let the whole night stay When it ends, will you stay? When it ends, will you stay? Take my number, take your time Take the glow, make it mine Phone light sway, sway with me Like a sky of stars we get to be Hold it up, let it shine Strangers for a song, but your hand finds mine Phone light sway, don't look away Let the whole night stay Sway with me, sway with me Let the whole night stay
