Corner Booth at Closing Time

[Verse 1]

Last sip of coffee gone cold

You trace the rim of your glass

Laugh at a joke from an hour ago

Like time forgot to pass

Your coat still hangs on that chair

You said you'd leave, never did

Menus stacked, chairs upside down

We sit here, two stubborn kids

[Chorus]

Stay in this corner booth at closing time

Where the world can't find our names

Let the keys spell out what I can't define

Soft and slow, in loops and waves

If the night keeps stretching, I won't mind

Let the clock hands lose their place

In this corner booth at closing time

I just wanna know your face

[Verse 2]

Bartender wipes down the bar

He knows our stories by heart

Lights go dim, door says "we're done"

But neither of us can start

You stir the sugar, no tea

Just something easy to do

Playing calm like it's a game

Stay in this corner booth at closing time

Where the world can't find our names

Let the keys spell out what I can't define

Soft and slow, in loops and waves

If the night keeps stretching, I won't mind

Let the clock hands lose their place

In this corner booth at closing time

I just wanna know your face

[Bridge]

Maybe it's simple as this

Take my hand, call that a sign

We don't need someday or always

Just one more round of this rhyme

[Chorus]

Stay in this corner booth at closing time

Where the world can't find our names

Let the keys spell out what I can't define

Soft and slow, in loops and waves

If the night keeps stretching, I won't mind

Let the clock hands lose their place

In this corner booth at closing time

I just wanna know your face
