You come home smellin’ like sta-dium liiights↓
A love song, pop, teen pop.

Lyrics
You come home smellin’ like sta-dium liiights↓
(little pause)
Little bit of sweat, little bit of Fri-day niiiight~
Throw your bag down, kiss me twice (quick, playful)
Say “ba-by, sor-ry I’m laaate”
I’ve been pa-cing in the ki-itchen barefooot~
Hair up, hoo-die on, feelin’ gooood
Mi-cro-wave din-ner I o-vercoooked (tiny laugh tone)
But you say it tastes fiiive-staaaar anywaaaay~
(soft breath)
You get loud with the crooowd
But you’re sooooft with meee
Funny how the king of the fieeeld
Still bends one kneee↑
When the flashbulbs fade ooout~
And the ca-me-ras turn awayyy~
When the cheers die dooown~
And it’s just us in this plaaace↑
After the noooise~
After the liiights~
After the tro-phies and headliiines~
You’re still my chOIIICE↑
Every niiiight~
When the world goes quieeet
And the doooors all cloose
You pull me clooose
Like nobody knooows
After the noooise~
It’s just you and meee~
(soft echo harmony: you and meee~)
They scream my naaame like it’s some-thing di-viiine↓
But I only turn when you say it riiight~
Gold on my haaaand
But the real priiiize
Is you in the pa-ssen-ger siiide~
You see the parts I don’t let shooow
The al-most craaacks, the un-dertoooow
You calm the storm with-out con-trooool
Just brea-thing next to meee
When the flashbulbs fade ooout~
And the pres-sure dis-ap-peaars
When the si-lence gets loooud~
You’re the on-ly thing I heaar↑
After the noooise~
After the liiights~
After the roooar of a thou-sand niiiights
After the noooise~
After the liiights~
After the roooar of a thou-sand niiiights
You’re still my voiiice↑
Every tiiiime~
When the world feels heeavy
And the highs run coooold
You warm my haaands
Like you al-ways dooo
After the noooise~
It’s just me and yooouuu~
You saw me be-foooore the di-a-mooonds~
Be-foooore the doubts went quieeet
If to-mor-row took it aaaall awaaay~
I’d still be riiich if you staaayed~
(beat — breath)
Let ‘em taaalk
Let ‘em staaare
We don’t need their aaair to breeeathe~
After the noooise~
After the liiights~
After the eve-ry-thing-riiight niiiights
You’re still my chOIIICE↑
Every liiiife~
If the crowd dis-ap-peaars~
And the si-lence grooows~
I’d fiiind you theeere
Where no-bo-dy goooes~
After the noooise~
It’s just you and meee~
(soft falsetto outro)
After the noooise~
Still my voiiice~
After the noooise…
Just us~
