Three Nights in Somebody Else's Life (Holiday Love)

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He told me his name and I forgot it on purpose
Remembering felt like bringing luggage to the beach
We had three nights and a balcony and a language
That worked better when we couldn't fully reach

He pointed at the moon like I had never seen one
I pointed at his confidence and laughed
We split a bottle that we couldn't read the label of
And called each other darling for the staff

[Chorus]
Holiday love is the kindest kind of liar
It promises nothing and it keeps the deal
Three nights in somebody else's life
Is just enough to remember how to feel

[Verse 2]
I wore a dress I'd never wear at home
He wore a version of himself that fit the climate
We danced to music neither of us chose
And choosing nothing was the most romantic private

He asked me what I did and I said something vague
He told me something vague right back and smiled
Two strangers auditioning for nobody
Performing in a theater with no child

[Chorus]
Holiday love is the kindest kind of liar
It promises nothing and it keeps the deal
Three nights in somebody else's life
Is just enough to remember how to feel

[Bridge]
On the last night we walked longer than we needed
Past the restaurants past the good part of the town
He said I like this version and I said me too
And both of us meant the one we'd be putting down

[Outro]
I didn't google him
That was the love part
