Lip Gloss

[Verse 1]
You pulled the wand, wiped the edge on the rim
Said, “Hold still,” put your hand on my chin
Kissed me once, checked my mouth for a trace
Then ran your thumb by the side of my face

You walked in first, told me count to ten
Rearview caught that shine before I followed you in

[Pre-Chorus]
You took the left side
I took the right
Clear gets loud
Under barroom lights

[Chorus]
“Nobody’s gonna know,” that’s what you said
Then the bar light found what your kiss left
We came in separate, two drinks apart
Till your girls caught the same shine in the dark

Didn’t take a word
Didn’t take much
That clear lip gloss told on us

[Verse 2]
Your friend spun her phone around with a grin
Same little shine on both of us again
You could’ve wiped yours, could’ve wiped mine
Instead you touched up in the bathroom light

Came back smiling, caught me by the sleeve
Left one more reason they wouldn’t believe

[Pre-Chorus]
You pulled me your way
Right into the light
Clear gets louder
When you quit trying to hide

[Chorus]
“Nobody’s gonna know,” that’s what you said
Then the bar light found what your kiss left
We came in separate, two drinks apart
Till your girls caught the same shine in the dark

Didn’t take a word
Didn’t take much
That clear lip gloss told on us

[Bridge]
I said, “Thought we were keeping this low”
You held up the tube: “That was an hour ago”
One more coat, then you pulled me close
Left that shine where everybody knows

[Final Chorus]
“Everybody’s gonna know,” that’s what you said
Then the whole room saw where your kiss went
No coming in separate, no standing apart
Your hand in mine underneath those lights

Didn’t need a word
Didn’t need much
That clear lip gloss showed us off

[Outro]
First it told on us
Then it showed us off
