Lyrics
Truck stop diner, three a.m. Coffee going cold I've got a ring in my jacket Worn from being held She's laughing at the jukebox Singing out of tune I've never been so certain Or so scared of a room Say yes slow, say yes soft Take your time, take your time I'll be here under this neon With my heart in my hand like a rhyme Say yes slow, say yes soft Let the whole night lean in Whatever you decide, my darling I've already won The waitress tops our coffee Pretends she doesn't see The way my knee is shaking Underneath the table, free I take a breath, a long one I slide the box across She looks up with those eyes That never count the cost Say yes slow, say yes soft Take your time, take your time I'll be here under this neon With my heart in my hand like a rhyme Say yes slow, say yes soft Let the whole night lean in Whatever you decide, my darling I've already won The minute stretches wide Like the highway out the door Every mile I ever drove Was heading to this floor Rain against the window Taillights going by And the only thing that matters Is the light inside her eyes Say yes slow, say yes soft Take your time, take your time I'll be here under this neon With my heart in my hand like a rhyme Say yes slow, say yes soft Let the whole night lean in Whatever you decide, my darling I've already won She said yes soft She said yes slow The neon hums along And the whole night glows
