[Verse 1] Two cups on the table Steam curling into blue air You talk about nothing I’m lost in the way that you stare Cars hum down below us Red and amber tracing slow lines Your hand on the railing Heart syncs to the sway of the blinds [Chorus] Quiet nights, the city breathing Soft glow dancing on your face We’re not saying what we’re feeling But it’s hanging in the space Quiet nights, my heart is leaning Closer every time you smile If this is all we ever get Let me stay here for a while [Verse 2] Hammock of the evening Swaying between “maybe” and “stay” You laugh at your own joke I’m watching your lips, drift away Taxi horns in the distance Windows flicker, stories inside You brush off your shoulder I swear I can feel the reply [Chorus] [Bridge] You trace shapes on the table Like you’re drawing out the truth I answer with a shoulder Bare inches from you The world keeps on spinning Down there in rushing white light Up here time is slower As we lean into the night [Chorus]
