Lyrics

Intro
[Low bass pulse → slow distorted guitar]
There you are again.
Funny how trouble
Keeps finding me.
Verse 1
Same corner bar, same Saturday night,
You walk through the door and catch my eye.
That crooked grin says you remember me,
And I remember everything you didn't say last week.
You take your usual seat,
Two stools down.
Close enough to watch,
Not close enough now.
Bartender laughs,
Says, "Here we go."
Yeah...
Even he knows.
Pre-Chorus
Every weekend
We get a little closer.
Every goodbye
Takes a little longer.
We're running out of reasons
To keep pretending we don't know—
Where this is going.
Chorus
We're one night from trouble,
One drink from crossing that line.
One touch from turning
All this tension into something we can't hide.
One night from trouble,
One kiss from changing the game.
We've been playing with these matches
Long enough to know the flame.
Maybe not tonight...
But baby, we're getting close.
We're one night from trouble—
And we both know.
Verse 2
You finally move
To the stool beside mine.
Say, "We keep doing this
Every Saturday night."
I take a sip,
Say, "Doing what?"
You laugh—
"Come on,
You know exactly what."
Your knee brushes mine,
Neither one moves.
That little accident
Didn't fool me or you.
Then your hand lands
On the back of my chair—
Now suddenly
There's not enough air.
Pre-Chorus
Every second
Gets a little slower.
Every inch between us
Feels a little smaller.
You ask me what I'm thinking.
I say—
"You don't wanna know."
Chorus
We're one night from trouble,
One drink from crossing that line.
One touch from turning
All this tension into something we can't hide.
One night from trouble,
One kiss from changing the game.
We've been playing with these matches
Long enough to know the flame.
Maybe not tonight...
But baby, we're getting close.
We're one night from trouble—
And we both know.
Guitar Solo
[Smoky blues bends → dirty rhythm guitar → soaring distorted lead]
Bridge
[Bass and drums drop low]
Last call.
Lights low.
Bartender says
It's time to go.
You grab your jacket.
I grab mine.
We walk outside
At the same damn time.
You look left.
I look right.
Neither one of us
Says goodnight.
Breakdown
[Single guitar notes]
You say—
"So...
Same time next week?"
I smile.
"Maybe."
Build
But something in your eyes says...
We ain't gonna make it
Another week.
Final Chorus
We're ONE NIGHT FROM TROUBLE!
One heartbeat away!
One more Saturday night
And somebody's gonna stop playing safe!
One night from trouble!
One kiss from setting it off!
We've been standing at the edge
Way too long to keep calling this talk!
You know it!
I know it!
Hell, everybody in that bar knows!
Maybe tonight
We still walk away...
But sooner or later—
One of us ain't going home alone.
We're ONE NIGHT FROM TROUBLE!
And we're running out of road.
Post-Chorus
One look!
One spark!
One touch!
After dark!
One more night
Trying to stay out of trouble—
Baby...
We're getting terrible at it.
Outro
[Slow dirty guitar riff]
Same time next week?
...
We'll see.
