[Verse] Ice cubes rattling in a plastic cup. Half-eaten snacks and the TV up. Phone on the table, face down low. Wait for the doorbell, nice and slow. [Pre-Chorus] Check the mirror, fix my hair. Heavy steps upon the stair. Turn the handle, let them in. Now the party can begin. [Chorus] Talk a little louder. Laugh a little more. Lose the clock behind the door. Talk a little louder. Laugh a little more. Lose the clock behind the door. [Verse] Bass line thumping through the floorboards now. Voices rising, I don't know how. Spinning stories, catching every eye. Watch the night just drifting by. [Pre-Chorus] Pass the bottle, find a seat. Keeping time with shuffling feet. Crowded kitchen, smoky air. Everybody's almost there. [Chorus] Talk a little louder. Laugh a little more. Lose the clock behind the door. Talk a little louder. Laugh a little more. Lose the clock behind the door. [Outro] Key in the lock. Stillness returns. Leftover luck. Till the sun burns. [Outro]
