Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
The box fan turns its face across the bed,
and the radio comes up soft through the floor.
Two streets over they're running the strip,
and the water tower blinks like it's keeping score.
I could be down there. I'm not going.

[Pre-Chorus]
Headlights cross the ceiling slow,
the whole town humming, letting go.
You laugh, I laugh, and nobody knows —

[Chorus]
This is the quietest party in town,
and we're the only ones invited.
Everybody's out where the lights are loud,
and I'm right here, and I'm delighted.
Wherever we end up, we keep this room.
(ooh, we keep this room)

[Verse 2]
Half the county's parked behind the feed store,
somebody's winning the game by three.
I know every truck by the sound it makes,
and not one of them is coming for me.
You said my name like it was easy.

[Pre-Chorus]
The window's cracked, the night gets in,
your shoulder warm against my chin.
Let them keep the field. Let us keep this.

[Chorus]
This is the quietest party in town,
and we're the only ones invited.
Everybody's out where the lights are loud,
and I'm right here, and I'm delighted.
Wherever we end up, we keep this room.
(ooh, we keep this room)

[Bridge]
If we move to some city with no sky in it,
if we stay and grow old on this same street —
I'm telling you now so you can hold me to it,
we take this room with us. That's the promise. That's it.

[Final Chorus]
This is the quietest party in town,
and we're the only ones invited.
Let them holler where the lights are loud,
I got everything I wanted.
Wherever we end up, we keep this room.
(ooh, we keep this room)
Oh, wherever we end up, we keep this room.

[Outro]
The fan turns, the water tower blinks.
Stay, stay, stay.
