[Verse 1] Cracked red vinyl I slide into the booth with you Sugar packets Scattered plans You trace patterns in the table glue Steam on the window Smudged into a crooked heart I pretend I don't see it You pretend you're not falling apart [Chorus] Diner romance 2 a.m. light Salt and pepper Your hand in mine Lipstick on a chipped white cup You say "Don't let me mess this up" Diner romance Cherry pie slice You steal the fork and one more bite If this is all we ever have It's still my favorite kind of life [Verse 2] Neon menu flickers Waitress calls us "kids" again You stir cream into your coffee Like you're trying to make the night never end Your laugh fogs up my glasses You wipe them with your sleeve We talk about the sad things Like they're scenes from some old TV [Chorus] Diner romance 2 a.m. light Salt and pepper Your hand in mine Lipstick on a chipped white cup You say "Don't let me mess this up" Diner romance Cherry pie slice You steal the fork and one more bite If this is all we ever have It's still my favorite kind of life [Bridge] Jukebox humming from the corner Quarter stuck on our favorite song You say "Someday we'll laugh about this" I say "We already are" (oh yeah) Check comes on a silver platter Total written in blue ink lines You circle the date in the margin Like you're saving it in your mind [Chorus] Diner romance 2 a.m. light Salt and pepper Your hand in mine Lipstick on a chipped white cup You say "Don't let me mess this up" Diner romance Cherry pie slice Crumbs and cream and tired eyes If this is all we ever have It's still my favorite kind of life
