Late Lecture Loops

[Intro]

[soft tape hiss, distant chatter, guitar figure fading in]

[Verse 1]

Half-zipped hoodie

Ink on my hands

Late bus home

You’re laughing at my plans

Fluorescent halos

Over cheap black coffee

Your hair in my notebook

Doodled like it caught me

[Chorus]

We’re stuck in these late lecture loops

Same seats, same shoes, same view

You underline my name in the margin

Say, “This page might be worth something too”

We’re humming through late lecture loops

Past due, half true, me and you

If growing up means growing apart

I’ll stay here repeating with you

[Verse 2]

Missed one deadline

Turned it to a date

Shared one playlist

Now I’m showing up late

[Verse 2]

Missed one deadline

Turned it to a date

Shared one playlist

Now I’m showing up late

Elevator mirror

You fixing your sleeve

“Do I look alright?”

Girl, you wouldn’t believe

[Chorus]

We’re stuck in these late lecture loops

Same seats, same shoes, same view

You underline my name in the margin

Say, “This page might be worth something too”

We’re humming through late lecture loops

Past due, half true, me and you

If growing up means growing apart

I’ll stay here repeating with you (with you)

[Bridge]

Cap and gown catalogs

Stacked on your floor

You say, “One day we’ll miss

Being this unsure”

So if the curve is cruel

And the future’s rude

Let it all fall through

Just not me and you (hey)

[Chorus]

We’re stuck in these late lecture loops

Same seats, same shoes, same view

You underline my name in the margin

Say, “This page might be worth something too”

We’re humming through late lecture loops

Past due, half true, me and you

If growing up means growing apart

I’ll stay here repeating with you
