**【Verse 1】**
Morning light on your pillowcase
You're still dreaming, a smile on your face
I count the freckles on your skin
Like stars the night forgot to bring in

The coffee's cold, I let it be
Can't move when you're holding onto me
The whole world's waiting outside that door
But I've never wanted less before

**【Verse 2】**
You leave your socks beside the bed
And random thoughts inside my head
Like how the rain sounds on the roof
Or why your laugh is living proof

That heaven isn't somewhere far
It's in this car, under this star
You singing off-key, I don't mind
You've ruined all the other kinds

**【Chorus】**
A thousand tiny lanterns light up inside
Every time you look at me, no reason why
It's not the grand gestures, not the perfect lines
It's the way you fit between these arms of mine

A thousand tiny lanterns, soft and small
You caught me when I didn't know I'd fall
No drama, no fireworks, just you and me
And this quiet little chemistry

**【Verse 3】**
We argue 'bout the dumbest things
Which season's better, fall or spring
You steal the blanket, I pretend to freeze
You kiss my nose and make my peace

I've written verses you'll never read
And kept the secrets that you never said
Somehow your silence speaks so loud
You're my favorite kind of crowd

**【Bridge】**
And if they ask me what love feels like
I'll say it's Tuesday, 2 a.m., your bike
It's takeout boxes on the floor
And wanting nothing more

**【Chorus】**
A thousand tiny lanterns light up inside
Every time you look at me, no reason why
It's not the grand gestures, not the perfect lines
It's the way you fit between these arms of mine

A thousand tiny lanterns, soft and small
You caught me when I didn't know I'd fall
No drama, no fireworks, just you and me
And this quiet little chemistry

**【Outro】**
(Light piano, humming)
Yeah, just you and me…
And this quiet little chemistry…
