Caught the late-night train, she was sitting by the door
A paperback in her hands, sneakers on the floor
She looked up just once, like she caught my stare
I swear the world got quiet, like it wasn't even there
The neon buzzed outside, but her smile lit the night
And something in me knew this was gonna feel right
Lips painted red, like a story half-told
A little bold, a little shy, breaking every mold
She said, "What you waiting for? Take a shot instead"
So I kissed her slow, on lips painted red
Now mornings are coffee, and her feet on my chair
She hums the songs she loves while she ties back her hair
The cat's on the counter, she calls it a sin
But she's laughing like a thief, and I let her win
The days move like verses in a song we keep
Every night she asks, "Will this always be?"
Lips painted red, like a fire in the cold
A little spark, a little flame, a story to be told
She said, "What you waiting for? Don't you dare play it safe"
So I kissed her slow, on lips painted red
Time's got a way of making promises fade
But her laugh, her touch, they still feel the same
I don't know much about forever, it's true
But I'll spend every day learning it with you
Lips painted red, like a sunset in the rain
A little joy, a little wild, driving me insane
She said, "What you waiting for? Let's live like we're not scared"
So I kissed her slow, on lips painted red
Yeah, I kissed her slow, on lips painted red
Every time I see her, it's like we've just met
A little bold, a little shy, and still breaking every mold
I'll keep kissing her slow, those lips painted red
