Lyrics

They said the good years went too fast
I said maybe
But the best light shows up late

Black room, soft gold, somebody breathes
Fabric catching halos at the edge of the beat
No one here is trying to be twenty-two
We came for the light, and it looks good on you

One turn of the wrist, one look over the shoulder
Grace gets louder when the heart gets older
What the mirror calls a wrinkle
The spotlight calls design

So let the low drum find us
Let the whole floor rise
We don’t dance to go backward
We dance to feel alive

We wear the night well
Oh, we wear it well
Age looks good in motion when the lights hit just right
Hands up, chin high
Let the whole room tell
We don’t chase forever
We wear the night well

Age looks good in motion
Age looks good in motion
Turn slow, shine bright
We wear the night well

You brought your laugh like a spark in a glass
I brought my scars and dressed them up in class
Years in the seams, fire in the hem
Every little step says here I am again

They can keep the rush, the noise, the race
We’ve got that deep-time swing, that saving grace
Not young, not sorry, not fading out
We’re the kind of beautiful they write about

Let the drumline hold us
Let the old ache melt
Some nights you need a witness
Some nights you need yourself

We wear the night well
Oh, we wear it well
Age looks good in motion when the lights hit just right
Hands up, chin high
Let the whole room tell
We don’t chase forever
We wear the night well

Talk to me
This was never about going back
This is about walking in
Like the years paid for the shine
And tonight, we collect

Age looks good

We wear the night well
Oh, we wear it well
Age looks good in motion and love looks good in light
Still turning heads
Still turning hurt to help
Still got a little gold left
We wear the night well

Age looks good in motion
Age looks good in motion
Turn slow, shine bright
We wear the night well
