Lyrics[]

[Verse]
Think we can see Mercury, following the light
Driving to the restaurant while my lipstick dries
Yeah, we've got next to nothing but nothing feels so right
As stumbling through the dark with you, comets in the sky

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, wherever we go
Breathe a little bit closer
Drive up, right into the storm
And fade into the night

[Chorus]
We just know how
Holding me with tightness
A beautiful alliance
Windows roll down
Yeah, we got the timing
Right down to a science

[Post-Chorus]
Right down, yeah right down to it
Right down to, right down to it
Right down
Right down to a science

[Verse]
Sink beneath the surface while reaching for the stars
The world is out of focus like all the passing cars
Breathing in the temperature filtered through your scarf
It's bigger than molecular, it's everything we are

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, wherever we go
Breathe a little bit closer
Drive up, right into the storm
And fade into the night

[Chorus]
We just know how
Holding me with tightness
A beautiful alliance
Windows roll down
Yeah, we got the timing
Right down to a science

[Post-Chorus]
Right down, yeah right down to it
Right down to, right down to it
Right down
Right down to a science

[Bridge]
Something about the way we ride
I think we might be in our prime
We're brighter than a socialite in the dark
Something about the way we ride
I think we might be in our prime
We're brighter than a socialite in the dark

[Chorus]
We just know how
Holding me with tightness
A beautiful alliance
Windows roll down
Yeah, we've got the timing
Right down to a science
Right down to a science
