One More Minute

**A Room Full of Stars** [Verse 1] Last show at eight. I slip in late. Six empty rows. A motor shakes. My ticket bends inside my hand. The ceiling fades. The stars come on. [Pre-Chorus] The city drills beneath the street. Up here, the light moves silently. [Chorus] One more minute. One more minute. In a room full of stars. One more minute. One more minute. Before the lights come on. [Verse 2] A kid up front counts seven, eight. He loses nine. He starts again. The speaker names a distant sun. I miss the name. I watch it turn. [Pre-Chorus] My phone lights up. I turn it down. A thousand points keep moving round. [Chorus] One more minute. One more minute. In a room full of stars. One more minute. One more minute. Before the lights come on. [Instrumental Break] [Rhodes and a quiet guitar melody] [Bridge] The house lights click. The rows turn gray. The kid keeps counting anyway. I find my coat. I stand up slow. Above the door, one star still glows. [Final Chorus] One more minute. One more minute. In a room full of stars. One more minute. One more minute. The lights are on. I’m still looking up. [Outro] One more minute. One more minute.
