[Intro: Rhodes piano, ambient pad, 4 bars] [Verse 1] The bartender knows my name by now Same seat, same hour, same empty sound Ice against the glass like a tiny clock Counting every minute since you walked out The playlist loops, the room gets dim Strangers laughing somewhere past the rim I trace the watermark you left behind A perfect ring that circles through my mind [Pre-Chorus] I should go but something keeps me still The aftertaste of you I can't unfill [Chorus] One more sip before I let you go One more song before I face the cold The night is gentle when it moves this slow One more sip and maybe I'll be whole Oh, maybe I'll be whole [Interlude: Instrumental, soft bass groove + brush drums, 4 bars] [Verse 2] Your jacket's ghost still haunts that chair Vanilla perfume floating in the air The neon sign just flickers red to blue Like all the words I never said to you A stranger plays our song on the jukebox And suddenly the whole room simply stops I close my eyes and there you are again Smiling like the night would never end [Pre-Chorus] I should leave but every melody Sounds a little bit like you and me [Chorus] One more sip before I let you go One more song before I face the cold The night is gentle when it moves this slow One more sip and maybe I'll be whole Oh, maybe I'll be whole [Bridge: Vocal Style: Whisper] Last call is coming soon But I'm still sitting with your perfume Some nights just take a little longer To turn a memory into closure [Outro: Fade out, Rhodes piano + ambient hum] Maybe I'll be whole… Maybe I'll be whole…
