[Verse 1]
You buzz my phone
"I'm here"
I wipe my palms
Grab keys
Restaurant sign in neon red
But I just see your cheeks in the breeze
You laugh
"Relax
It's us"
Coat on your chair
You lean
Candle in a cloudy glass
Makes gold on your wrist
On your ringless ring finger
[Pre-Chorus]
Menu open
But I'm locked on you
Every little story sounds brand new
You tilt your head
Sip that ruby drink
Say my name slow
I forget to think
[Chorus]
Perfect dinner date
We’re burning time like sugar
Hearts on the plate
Yeah we’re tasting every second
Table for two at the edge of time
You and me
You and me
Tonight
Perfect dinner date
Your hand across the table
World fades away
Like it’s running out of cable
If this is all we ever get
I’m fine
Perfect dinner at the edge of time
[Verse 2]
Pasta steam fogs your lens
You push them up
Half shy
You steal one fry from my plate
Grin like you just got away with a crime
Waiter asks
"Dessert?"
You say
"Surprise us
Please"
Under the cloth
Your ankle finds mine
And my heartbeat skips three beats
[Pre-Chorus]
Music low
But my pulse is loud
Your lip gloss stained on a paper towel
You bite your tongue
Then you bite your smile
Say
"Stay after this
Just stay a while"
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Bill on the tray
But we’re still mid-sentence
Tracing our names in the condensation
[low vocal register] Outside
The city’s in fast‑forward motion
Inside
Every second moves slow
[whispered vocals] "Walk me home
" you say
Streetlight on your face
Soft glow
I’d order this night again and again
Same place
Same chair
Same you in that coat
[Chorus]
