[Verse 1]
Half-price whiskey
Neon clock stuck late
You stir your drink
Like you’re stirring up fate
Scuffed-up sneakers
Rainbow pin half hid
You catch my eye
Hold it longer than you did
[Chorus]
Two lonely boys at closing time
Borrowing hours from the breaking light
Your hand on mine, you say, “it’s fine”
If love shows up just for tonight
Two lonely boys at closing time
Learning the shape of feeling right
[Verse 2]
You laugh too loud
Then blush into your glass
Say, “men like us
Aren’t built to ever last”
I trace your tattoo
Faded on your wrist
Say, “maybe, just this once
We deserve a twist”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
You lean in, ask
“Will you still want me
When the room turns bright?”
I say, “I have wanted
A you like you
My whole damn life”
[violin swells, soft and warm]
[Chorus]
