[Instrumental Intro](A slow, rhythmic acoustic guitar strum kicks in, paired with a low, driving bassline and a sultry electric guitar riff)[Verse 1]The screen door is clicking shut behind meLeaving the noise of the party insideThe summer heat is thick against my skinBut you are the one making it hard to breathe[Refrain](Mmm... yeah...)[Verse 2]Your eyes have been tracking my every moveAcross a crowded room for over an hourNow the starlight is hitting the hood of your truckAnd we are standing a little too close[Chorus]Take a slow step closer to me right nowLet the country night take over our thoughtsWhisper what you want in the darkAnd let the headlights guide us away[Verse 3]My keys are slipping right out of my handThe gravel is crunching under your bootsThere is a sweet danger in the way you smileThat makes me want to forget the time[Refrain](Mmm... mmm... ooh...)[Chorus]Take a slow step closer to me right nowLet the country night take over our thoughtsWhisper what you want in the darkAnd let the headlights guide us away[Outro](The vocal drops to a sweet, lingering whisper close to the microphone)Just a little bit closer...Let the headlights guide us...(Mmm...)(The electric guitar plays a final, warm hook as the rhythm fades out)[End]
