Bathroom Light
Mt Joy Lyrics

Stripping you down to your jewelry
You're breaking the rules just for me

So, come on, baby, let's do this right
I think I like falling in love in the bar bathroom light
I don't question it, I don't mess with it, I just go, go grab it
Tell your friends, tell your ma that you love who they are

'Cause someday we must return the movies in our brains
And these moments we can't fake
Yes, the angels never leak the expiration date, so

So, come on, baby, let's do this right
I think I like falling in love in the bar bathroom light

I won't question it, I won't mess with it, if it's there go grab it
Tell your friends, tell your ma that you love who they are

The lyrics of "Bathroom Light" by Mt Joy are a narrative about two people who find themselves drawn to each other in a bar, and decide to sneak away to the restroom to be together. The first verse sets the scene, with the singer asking for a lane to drive through in a Halloween costume, conveying a sense of playfulness and urgency in their desire to find their way to the back of the bar, where they can be together. They close the door to the stall and, as the second verse states, they strip down to each other's jewelry, and begin to break the rules just for each other.

The singer is clearly swept up in their emotions, falling in love hard and fast without questioning or messing with it, as the repeated pre-chorus emphasizes: "I don't question it, I don't mess with it, I just go, go grab it." They see a good life together, "under big stars and a good woman in charge," and make a pact to tell their friends and family how much they love and appreciate them.

The song concludes with a call to action for the listener to seize their own moments of passion and connection without worry or doubt, as they are fleeting and precious. The line "someday we must return the movies in our brains" implies that there is a limited time to experience these kind of transcendent moments, and that the angels (or perhaps just fate) do not leak their expiration dates, so it is up to the individual to make the most of them.

Overall, "Bathroom Light" is a joyful celebration of impulsive love and the thrill of being alive in the moment.

Find me a lane to drive through
I need to find direction and purpose in my life.

In a Halloween costume
Even if I have to pretend, I want to feel powerful and confident.

I'm an astronaut without you
I feel lost and untethered without the person I love by my side.

We're twisting our way to the back of the bar
We're navigating through life, trying to find our way to where we feel most comfortable.

Yeah, locking the door, falling into the stall
In this moment, nothing else matters except for being with you.

Stripping you down to your jewelry
I want to see the true you, stripped down and vulnerable.

You're breaking the rules just for me
You're willing to take risks and step out of your comfort zone for our relationship.

What a life under big stars and a good woman in charge
Life is beautiful when you're with someone who makes you feel safe and happy.

Got me falling in, got me falling in hard
I'm falling deeply in love with you and I can't stop myself.

So, come on, baby, let's do this right
Let's commit to this relationship and do it the right way.

I think I like falling in love in the bar bathroom light
Sometimes the most unexpected places can lead to the most beautiful moments.

I don't question it, I don't mess with it, I just go, go grab it
I'm not going to overthink things, I'm just going to embrace the love that's in front of me.

Tell your friends, tell your ma that you love who they are
Don't be afraid to express your love for the people in your life.

'Cause someday we must return the movies in our brains
One day our memories and experiences will come to an end.

And these moments we can't fake
But these moments we're sharing are real and authentic.

Yes, the angels never leak the expiration date, so
The true beauty of love is that it doesn't have an expiration date, it will last forever.
