[Verse 1] We bought two drinks and left the light For the softer dark outside Your sleeve brushed mine on purpose Or I let myself decide The bottles sweated in our hands Like little moons gone cold You told me some small thing about you And I kept it warm like gold [Pre-Chorus] The night was warm and unserious Your laugh kept missing me By half an inch, by one held breath By almost saying please [Chorus] The moon has a receipt For every stupid thing we need Two drinks, one ache, spare change And a sweetness we can’t keep The night remembers everything We almost didn’t say Your shoulder, my disaster Tax included: looking away [Verse 2] We walked like time was optional Like streets could change their mind You asked me what my favorite was I lied and said, “Of what?” You smiled into your bottle I forgot my whole reply Somewhere, traffic turned to glitter And I forgot to breathe on time [Pre-Chorus] I could feel the shape of trouble In the space between our hands Not a promise, not a question Just the part where wanting lands [Chorus] The moon has a receipt For every stupid thing we need Two drinks, one ache, spare change And a sweetness we can’t keep The night remembers everything We almost didn’t say Your shoulder, my disaster Tax included: looking away [Bridge] Maybe flirting is a paper bag Holding more than it should hold Maybe learning your favorite drink Is how the soft begins to show Maybe almost is a country With streetlights in its trees Maybe I was trying not to kiss you So obviously You said my name too casually Like it wasn’t a matchstick The ice kept shifting in your drink Like tiny planets misbehaving [Final Chorus] The moon has a receipt For every stupid thing we need Two drinks, one ache, spare change And a sweetness we can’t keep The night remembers everything We almost didn’t say Your smile, my bad timing Tax included: walking away The moon has a receipt For the high of being near One laugh, two drinks, blue light And the almost atmosphere [Outro] We bought two drinks and left the light For the softer dark outside I learned the shape of what you like And carried it all night
