[Verse 1] Chairs pulled close, lights turned low Maps still out, but the night let go Empty cups, inside jokes Laughing ’bout the rolls we broke No heroes now, no lines to read Just tired smiles and shared relief Stories fade, but we remain Same old room, new names [Pre-Chorus] Leave the world outside the door Stay a little longer than before [Chorus] After the dice are down After the noise is gone We’re still here, hanging out Same table, moving on After the story ends After the fire burns low It’s not about the game we played It’s the friends we know [Verse 2] Phones glow soft, playlists hum Quiet finds us one by one Someone says, “Stay a while” Yawns and laughs, half-smiles No wins to count, no loss to name Just shared time and easy names Tomorrow waits, but not tonight We earned this calm, this quiet [Pre-Chorus] Let the outside fade away We don’t need much more to stay [Chorus] After the dice are down After the noise is gone We’re still here, hanging out Same table, moving on After the story ends After the fire burns low It’s not about the game we played It’s the friends we know [Bridge] (soft group / half-sung) No rolls left No plans ahead Just low voices Tired heads If the night slips by too fast At least we know this moment lasts [Final Chorus] After the dice are down After the night unwinds We don’t need a reason now Just a little more time After the last “goodnight” After the lights go out We’ll pack it up and head on home But this stays now [Outro] (layered, gentle) Same table Same sound We’ll meet again When the dice come back around
