Matthew West
Kissing A Girl
[Verse 1]
16, set of keys
Pick her up in your hand-me-down Chevy
Hold the door, be polite
Keep talkin' 'bout how she looks pretty
[Pre-Chorus]
Spend your money like you got some
Even though you ain't got none
'Cause if you play your cards just right
[Chorus]
You'll be kissing a girl goodnight
Time will slow down, heart'll beat faster
In that moment, nothing else matters
You'll see forever when you close your eyes
And you're kissing a girl goodnight
Holding your breath, holding her closer
Don't want it to end and then it's over
And you're countin' down the hours 'til the next time
You're kissing a girl goodnight
Kissing a girl goodnight
[Verse 2]
23, set of keys
One bed, one bath, but it's a mansion
Couple kids, playing grown-ups
Drinking cheap wine, dancing in the kitchen
[Pre-Chorus]
And you can't wait to turn the lights out
'Cause you know when you lay your head down
There's a dream with a ring layin' by your side
And you're thanking God you get to be the guy
[Chorus]
Kissing a girl goodnight
Time will slow down, heart'll beat faster
In that moment, nothing else matters
You'll see forever when you close your eyes
And you're kissing a girl goodnight
Holding your breath, holding her closer
Don't want it to end and then it's over
And you're counting down the hours 'til the next time
You're kissing a girl goodnight
Kissing a girl goodnight
[Bridge]
She's only three, looking up at me
Say amen, took her in
Then she wraps her tiny arms around my neck so tight
And I'm thanking God I get to be the guy
[Chorus]
Kissing a girl goodnight
Time will slow down, heart'll beat faster
In that moment, nothing else matters
You'll see forever when you close your eyes
And you're kissing a girl goodnight
Holding your breath, holding her closer
Don't want it to end and then it's over
And you're counting down the hours 'til the next time
You're kissing a girl goodnight
Kissing a girl goodnight
Kissing a girl goodnight
Kissing a girl goodnight
