Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We can pop that bottle
We can go get dressed
We can make that call I don't want to yet
'Cause we both got texts from all of our friends
Saying there's a house party over on the west end
And you ask me if I wanna go
But your smile says it all 'cause you already know
[Chorus]
I'd rather be here, rather be us
Feeling that first-night butterfly rush
Rather be hanging out with you, baby
Chasing that coastline summertime crush
I'd rather be here, riding these roads
Making me swerve 'cause you're pulling me close
I'd rather be anywhere you are, falling in love
I'd rather be here, I'd rather be us
I'd rather be here, I'd rather be us
[Verse 2]
Already been there, done that
Best part of going out's when we come back home
You and I alone, all night long
'Cause those neon lights have lost their shine
And those honeycomb eyes are the reason why
[Chorus]
I'd rather be here, rather be us
Feeling that first-night butterfly rush
Rather be hanging out with you, baby
Chasing that coastline summertime crush
I'd rather be here, riding these roads
Making me swerve 'cause you're pulling me close
I'd rather be anywhere you are, falling in love
I'd rather be here, I'd rather be us
[PostChorus]
I'd rather be here, I'd rather be us, yeah
[Bridge]
Oh, I'm running out of reasons we should go
[Chorus]
I'd rather be here, rather be us
Feeling that first-night butterfly rush
Rather be hanging out with you, baby
Chasing that coastline summertime crush
I'd rather be here, riding these roads
Making me swerve 'cause you're pulling me close
I'd rather be anywhere you are, falling in love
I'd rather be here, I'd rather be us
[Outro]
Yeah, I'd rather be here, I'd rather be us
Oh, I'd rather be here, I'd rather be us
