[Intro] (low chatter, soft keys) Too many people in the front I see you lookin’ from across the room [Verse 1] Industry night, everybody talkin’ loud You catch my eye, then nod toward the back We slip out quiet, close the door behind Inside joke land, you keep your voice down low Stand a little closer than you do out there Hand brush mine when you reach for the lighter Feels like the real thing when it’s just us two Till the handle turn and somebody come through [Pre-Chorus] Footsteps gettin’ closer to the door You shift your weight, create a little space I notice, but I don’t say what I saw Just watch the way the moment change its face [Chorus] Back room, where you stand real near Back room, till the outside world appear Then the distance come back like it never left Back room Warm when the door is closed Cooler when it open Back room I feel it either way [Verse 2] We step back out, you talk to me different Volume normal, like we just met again Somebody ask about the session earlier You answer clean, don’t look my way too long I catch you glance across the room one time Then turn back to whoever got your ear Same man who had his voice down low Now actin’ like that part was nothin’ more [Pre-Chorus] Pattern sittin’ clearer than before Private close, public far I ain’t sure what the quiet is for Just know it change dependin’ where we are [Chorus] Back room, where you stand real near Back room, till the outside world appear Then the distance come back like it never left Back room Warm when the door is closed Cooler when it open Back room I feel it either way [Bridge] Easy to feel important with the door shut tight Harder to read it when the light come in I don’t know what you mean by keepin’ it quiet I just know the room can’t answer what I’m askin’ When we step back out And the warmth don’t follow [Final Chorus] Back room, where it feel the most real Back room, till the door remind me still That the private don’t translate when we leave Back room Refuge when it’s only us Question when it open Back room I notice either way [Outro] I fix my face, walk back toward the noise You already talkin’ to somebody else (soft keys fade)
