Late Checkout Cool

[Verse 1]

Room at the end of the hallway

Keycard flicker in my hand

Tie loose, jacket on one shoulder

I’m here longer than I planned

[Chorus]

Late checkout cool, I’m staying

Slow drip days, I’m playing it smooth

Feet on the chair, I’m swaying

Light on low, thinking of you

Late checkout cool, no hurry

Silver cart rolling past noon

If time’s a tab, don’t worry

I’ll pay it all

For this late checkout cool

[Verse 2]

City through double-glass windows

Muted colors, gliding cars

No rush, emails in the outbox

My watch hiding under the scarf

Your note on the nightstand napkin

“Sleep in, order something sweet”

I trace every curve of your handwriting

Like a loop I can’t delete

[Chorus]

Late checkout cool, I’m staying

Slow drip days, I’m playing it smooth

Feet on the chair, I’m swaying

Light on low, thinking of you

Late checkout cool, no hurry

Silver cart rolling past noon

If time’s a tab, don’t worry

I’ll pay it all

For this late checkout cool

[Bridge]

Let the front desk keep on calling (let it ring)

I’m not ready for the street

I’d rather stay in this in-between

Where your voice and the quiet meet

[Chorus]

Late checkout cool, I’m staying

Slow drip days, I’m playing it smooth

Feet on the chair, I’m swaying

Light on low, thinking of you

Late checkout cool, don’t wake me

Let this room be our small cocoon

If time’s a tab, just take me

I’ll spend it all

On this late checkout cool
