Bring Claire

Gabriel

punk, acoustic

[Verse 1]
Tea and muffins on the table
Morning held us still
Claire on my better desktop
Doing work until

I closed tickets, watched the system
She did planning clean
Basic talk and busy hands
Like we’d always been

Lunch was fridge and pantry
Homemade, plain, and fine
English beers beside the plates
And laughter on the line

[Pre-Chorus]
Then my phone lit up
Thomas sent his note
“Tea break at my apartment
Bring Claire” — that’s all he wrote

I showed it to Claire
She just gave one look
No questions, no long speech
Just a nod and a book

[Chorus]
Bring Claire, bring Claire
Tea at four, be there
Bring Claire, bring Claire
We’ll take the long way there
(Bring Claire)
Bring Claire, bring Claire
Don’t ask how he knew
Bring Claire, bring Claire
We said fine and we moved

[Verse 2]
Midtown heat on summer pavement
Traffic took its time
I drove her down through Manhattan
Stopped in a garage line

Near Burn Capital US
She ran her errands there
I window-shopped on Fifth Avenue
With afternoon in the air

When she finished, we checked our watches
Still calm enough to stroll
Upper East Side, steady steps
And nothing felt out of control

[Pre-Chorus]
No rush, just that slow walk
Stone and shade and glass
A message, a drive, a city block
And then it passed

Claire beside me, quiet
Like the day was planned
And Thomas’ door was waiting
At the end of our hands

[Bridge]
Traffic burned, but we stayed cool
Midtown under heat
Still made it to the Upper East
With the clock on beat

No drama in the doorway
No story on display
Just Fiona, Claire, and Thomas
At the tea break, on time that day

[Final Chorus]
Bring Claire, bring Claire
Tea at four, be there
Bring Claire, bring Claire
We took the calm road there
(Bring Claire)
Bring Claire, bring Claire
No need to know why
Bring Claire, bring Claire
Right on time, hand in hand, we arrived
