[Intro] [Slow, heavy bass line] [Dry, thumping drum beat] [Verse 1] Check the deadbolt, leave your keys by the sink I don't care about your star sign or what you think Your cologne’s heavy, smells like stale tobacco and rain I’m just trying to kill the quiet and the throb in my brain I’m not good at being alone when the heater starts to moan But don't expect a follow-up or a call on your phone [Chorus] [Full band entry: gritty and slow] Stay in the bed, just for tonight I don't need a lover, I just need the light It’s not about the heart, it’s about the space I’d rather look at you than a blank wall in this place So stay with me now, don't make it deep Just wait until the sun's up before you leave [Verse 2] [Vocal gets raspier] I saw you checking your watch when the screen lit the wall I know there’s someone at home waiting on your call I used to beg for the crumbs, used to stay on my knees But I’m done with the "maybe" and the "baby, please" You’re here for the warmth, I’m here for the sound Of someone else breathing while the world spins around I’ll pay for the taxi, I’ll buy the last round But don't act like we’re lost just because we’re found [Bridge] [Music pulls back: focus on bass and Wurlitzer] [Spoken/Gravelly] The coffee’s instant, the sugar’s in the drawer I’ll be in the shower when you head for the door No notes on the mirror, no "see you around" Just the click of the latch and a boots-on-the-ground sound [Guitar Solo: Slow, weeping blues style, slightly overdriven] [Outro] Yeah, the rain’s stopped The meter’s running outside Close the door behind you I’ve got nowhere to hide Just stay [Total Silence] Then go [End]
