[Verse 1] Two folding chairs and a stubborn plant A tiny view of somebody's laundry We drag the table by the rail You bring the oranges, I bring the stories Down below the buses breathe Up here the week can loosen its grip on me [Pre-Chorus] We don't own a skyline view But every light looks different sitting next to you [Chorus] It's balcony weather Come on, pull your chair a little closer We can make the small hours better Watch the sky turn soft over our shoulders It's balcony weather No big plans we have to measure Just a little place to be together And tonight that's more than enough [Verse 2] Your brother calls, we pass the phone Tell him that the plant is somehow growing Somebody practices next door The same three notes, but they're improving We laugh and try to sing the fourth The streetlights blink, we peel another orange [Pre-Chorus] We don't own a skyline view But every light looks different sitting next to you [Chorus] It's balcony weather Come on, pull your chair a little closer We can make the small hours better Watch the sky turn soft over our shoulders It's balcony weather No big plans we have to measure Just a little place to be together And tonight that's more than enough [Bridge - intimate solo vocal, piano and strings] A bigger place might come one day And I will love it anyway But I will miss this little square Where we learned to breathe some easier air [Instrumental interlude - orchestra and rhythm section, no vocals] [Final Chorus] It's balcony weather Come on, pull your chair a little closer We can make the small hours better Watch the sky turn soft over our shoulders It's balcony weather No big plans we have to measure Just a little place to be together And tonight that's more than enough [Outro] Pull your chair a little closer Let the evening take its time
