Asphalt Triumph

[Intro] Strummed guitar riff with footstomp beat [Verse 1] The sun dipped low behind the water tower, painted the sky in rust and gold You slung your jacket over my shoulders, said "C’mon, let’s take the long road home" We laughed at the dog that chased a squirrel, tripped over a crack in the concrete Your hand found mine like it was old news, like we’d done this a thousand times weekly [Chorus] Oh, we’re walking home, boots scuffing the asphalt, singing off-key to the radio hum Triumphant like we just won the whole world, just you and me, and the setting sun No need for crowns or a victory march, our triumph’s in the step we take as one Yeah, we’re walking home, high on the moment, every streetlight’s a victory run [Verse 2] We stopped at the bodega, grabbed a soda, the clerk winked like he knew our deal You told me about the time you climbed the oak tree, fell and scraped up your heel The stars came out one by one, like someone lit ’em with a match You said "Ain’t nothing better than this, kid," and I knew you weren’t talking about the catch [Chorus] Oh, we’re walking home, boots scuffing the asphalt, singing off-key to the radio hum Triumphant like we just won the whole world, just you and me, and the setting sun No need for crowns or a victory march, our triumph’s in the step we take as one Yeah, we’re walking home, high on the moment, every streetlight’s a victory run [Bridge] We didn’t win no prize, didn’t climb no mountain peak But we got something better, something that don’t ever leak A night that’s ours, no deadlines, no alarms Just the sound of our breath, and the beating of our hearts [Outro] We turned the corner, your porch light’s glowing, like it’s been waiting all night long You squeezed my hand, said "See you tomorrow," and I knew this feeling’s gonna last all week long Walking home, walking home, yeah we’re walking home
