Light out

Last train home

10:09

You lean back

Feet on the line

As I laugh

Stealing your hat

Says

“You look better like that”

Phone at 2%

Screen going black

But we keep talking like it’s a spark

Every stupid story

Every little dare

Feels like we are the only ones there

Lights out

But we’re still glowing

Don’t know where this thing is going

Us in the afterglow

Saying “maybe” when we mean “don’t go”

Hold on

‘cause the night is falling

Heartbeat louder than the last train calling

Lights out

But somehow we see

Everything we’re scared to be

Sidewalk chalk on your old front step

My name drawn big

Yours drawn next

Neighbors sleep

Windows all dim

As I whisper

“Do you feel this?” to him

Street goes quiet

Air gets thin

Your so close

I let you in

Every almost-kiss

Every shaky grin

Feels like we are jumping off the rim

Lights out

But we’re still glowing

Don’t know where this thing is going

Us in the afterglow

Saying “maybe” when we mean “don’t go”

Hold on

‘cause the night is falling

Heartbeat louder than the last train calling

Lights out

But somehow we see

Everything we’re scared to be

What if morning makes us strangers? (oh)

What if this is all pretend?

I say

“Write your name across my fingers

So I don’t forget you then”

Lights out

But we’re still glowing

Don’t know where this thing is going

Us in the afterglow

Saying “maybe” when we mean “don’t go”

Hold on

‘cause the night is falling

Heartbeat louder than the last train calling

Lights out

But somehow we see

We are meant to be just

You and me
