[Verse 1]
Same lads
Same laughs
Same line
Sticky floor
Cheap red wine
He’s half bored
Clocking out in his mind
Then she walks in
Late
Like a plot twist in real life
[Pre-Chorus]
She says
“I don’t usually come here
Just a favor for a friend”
He says
“Funny
I don’t usually notice
When the night begins to end”
Two shy smiles in the stale smoke
Something bright in the dim glow
[Chorus]
We fell in love in a run-down bar
Flickering sign
But you lit my heart
You don’t chase every weekend high
You just showed up and rewrote my life
Sticky tables
Cracked old glass
Golden moment in the broken glass
I used to live for the Friday dark
Now I’m saving all my light for you
At that run-down bar
[Verse 2]
He skips rounds
Just to stay by her side
All his mates
Shooting looks from the quiet side
She talks books
He jokes he only reads signs
But he’s hooked
On the way she says goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
She says
“I’m more about mornings
Than these crowded closing times”
He says
“Guess I’m more about you now
Than the usual reckless nights”
Two lost souls on a wobbling stool
Finding something that feels like truth
[Chorus]
We fell in love in a run-down bar
Flickering sign
But you lit my heart
You don’t chase every weekend high
You just showed up and rewrote my life
Sticky tables
Cracked old glass
Golden moment in the broken glass
I used to live for the Friday dark
Now I’m saving all my light for you
At that run-down bar
[Bridge]
Now his phone buzzes
“You out
Mate?”
He just laughs
Says “I’m okay”
Sat at home on a quiet night
Talking late under softer lights
He still smiles when he thinks back
To that first night
That faded tap
One small chance
One tired bar
Gave a lad the whole world in her arms (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
We fell in love in a run-down bar
Flickering sign
But you lit my heart
You don’t chase every weekend high
You just showed up and rewrote my life
Sticky tables
Cracked old glass
Golden moment in the broken glass
I used to live for the Friday dark
Now I’m saving all my light for you
At that run-down bar
