Lyrics
Tuesday night, the town is half asleep Only the cinema sign still keeps A glow on the street, a gold and warm hue I'm standing there thinking of you Popcorn machine humming through the glass Teenage usher leaning on the brass Two tickets left for the last show tonight Maybe you'll come, maybe it's alright Soft light, slow night Everything feels right Popcorn light on Main Street Hold me close, let the whole world sleep Gold on the pavement, gold in your eyes Stay a little longer, no goodbyes Popcorn light on Main Street Warm as a song on repeat You came around the corner with your scarf pulled high Snowflakes catching light as they float by We bought one tub and we shared the seat Your head on my shoulder, soft heartbeat The screen lit up like a quiet sea Nothing to prove and nowhere to be Your hand in mine in the warm half-dark Small-town cinema, our little spark Soft light, slow night Everything feels right Popcorn light on Main Street Hold me close, let the whole world sleep Gold on the pavement, gold in your eyes Stay a little longer, no goodbyes Popcorn light on Main Street Warm as a song on repeat Thank you for coming, thank you for staying Thank you for the quiet that we're saying Without a word, without a sound Just the warm light all around Popcorn light on Main Street Hold me close, let the whole world sleep Gold on the pavement, gold in your eyes Stay a little longer, no goodbyes Popcorn light on Main Street Warm as a song on repeat Warm light Main Street tonight
