“LET THEM MISS THIS” lyrics
Let them miss this
Pull me closer
Phone face down
Stay a little longer
Let them miss this
Pull me closer
Phone face down
Stay a little longer
Everybody posing by the doorway
One more flash
I set mine down
You catch me trying out a step I can't do
Don't just laugh
Come right here
You do it once and then we try together
There we go
There's a car outside
Let the others go
I'm not done with dancing
You're not in a hurry
Some nights don't need proof
I'll remember how this feels
Even when it's quiet
You're the one I notice
Let them miss this
Pull me closer
Phone face down
Stay a little longer
Let them miss this
Pull me closer
Phone face down
Stay a little longer
Now you know
I was acting cool because I liked you
You just laugh
You set yours beside mine, say you like me too
There's a car outside
Let the others go
I'm not done with dancing
You're not in a hurry
Some nights don't need proof
I'll remember how this feels
Even with the lights on
You're the one I notice
Let them miss this
Pull me closer
Phone face down
Stay a little longer
Let them miss this
Pull me closer
Phone face down
Stay a little longer
Let them miss this
Pull me closer
Phone face down
Stay a little longer
Let them miss this
Pull me closer
Phone face down
Stay a little longer
Let them miss this
Pull me closer
Phone face down
Stay a little longer
Let them miss this
Pull me closer
Phone face down
Stay a little longer
