Kitchen Light

Softsteel

There's flour on your shirt and that grin on your face
The dishes can wait, there's no need to race
I set the old record spinnin' down low
Pull you in by the hands 'cause I don't wanna let go

Nobody knockin', nobody watchin' now
Just the hum of the fridge and the amber glow

So dance with me in the kitchen light
Barefoot and slow while the world's out of sight
Let 'em call it whatever they call it out there
In here you're just my darlin' and it's an ordinary night
Just dance with me in the kitchen light

Some folks think a love like ours
Has gotta be a headline, gotta be a war
But I only wanna be bored with you
Your cold feet in the mornin' and the grocery store
'Cause the small and quiet life they swore we'd never get
Is the sweetest thing I've ever held, and I'm not through with it yet

So nothin' out there can touch us here
Not tonight, not in this amber glow

So dance with me in the kitchen light
Barefoot and slow while the world's out of sight
Let 'em call it whatever they call it out there
In here you're just my darlin' and it's an ordinary night
Just dance with me in the kitchen light

It was always this simple
Whatever they try to say
I love you, you love me
And nobody's takin' that away

So dance with me in the kitchen light
Barefoot and slow while the world's out of sight
Let 'em call it whatever they call it out there
In here you're just my darlin' and it's an ordinary night
Just dance with me in the kitchen light

So sway with me in the kitchen light
Just an ordinary night
