We laughed on the edge of disaster Bright candy lights, the coin racing faster You wore rebellion scratched in pink You said: stay for one more drink? You brushed my arm, i felt it That tiny spark, you lit it And every time our elbows met The closest we had gotten yet I begged the night to last a little longer Between sips and eyes that pulled me under Fifteen minutes to walk you home But time, like us, refused to go On a street where everyone knew you I was the only one in your view In the backseat, fingers swore Kisses weren’t done Please, fifteen minutes more You cried when we went too deep Stories i promised you to keep In a place first empty, then too loud Conversations like no one was around We don’t wear our past like clothes But sometimes choose what to show And I saw colors no one sees In the boy who played many parts I begged the night to last a little longer Between sips and eyes that pulled me under Fifteen minutes to walk you home But time, like us, refused to go On a street where everyone knew you I was the only one in your view In the backseat, fingers swore Kisses weren’t done Please, fifteen minutes more From our broke family with the poor whiskey Paper plates, no silver, just history Maybe Uncle Howard would be proud of us That the traumas didn’t break our trust We don’t show off our weakness But tonight, it sat with us The first true menu on our table And it tasted just like us If you remember anything at all Let it be the fall Of my voice, in your head Thank you for letting me in And showing me your true colors I begged the night to last a little longer Between sips and eyes that pulled me under Fifteen minutes to walk you home But time, like us, refused to go On a street where everyone knew you I was the only one in your view In the backseat, fingers swore Kisses weren’t done Please, fifteen minutes more
