[Verse 1] The diner changed its name again New blue paint around the window But the seat that knows my shape Is waiting underneath the same old photo You come in from the evening rain And slide your bag beside the sugar [Pre-Chorus] We got years to catch up on And a coffee that the server keeps warm [Chorus] Save me the last good booth Where I can sit and talk to you Where the day comes off my shoulders And the night feels a little less cold Save me the last good booth You bring your stories, I'll bring mine too We don't have to fix the whole thing We can start with how you've been [Verse 2] You say the new job's going well Except you miss the people from the old one I say the garden's mostly weeds But one tomato finally gave us something We laugh until the window clears It's good to hear my name the way you say it [Pre-Chorus] We got years to catch up on And a coffee that the server keeps warm [Chorus] Save me the last good booth Where I can sit and talk to you Where the day comes off my shoulders And the night feels a little less cold Save me the last good booth You bring your stories, I'll bring mine too We don't have to fix the whole thing We can start with how you've been [Bridge - intimate solo vocal, piano and strings] Some friends never need a speech Or perfect weeks between a meeting They pick up where the warmth left off And ask if you have eaten [Instrumental interlude - orchestra and rhythm section, no vocals] [Final Chorus] Save me the last good booth Where I can sit and talk to you Where the day comes off my shoulders And the night feels a little less cold Save me the last good booth You bring your stories, I'll bring mine too We don't have to fix the whole thing We can start with how you've been [Outro] One more cup before we go Same booth, a little further down the road
