[Intro] Mm... Another Friday gone before it started [Verse 1] Your coffee's cold beside the bed Blue light moving on your face I know you're here I know you're tired But something else still takes my place We made plans we didn't keep Left our glasses by the door I stopped asking what we'd do 'Cause I've heard the answer before [Pickup] Two a.m., it starts again [Pre-Chorus] And I don't wanna fight tonight Don't wanna make you choose I'm only tired of giving time To something we can't lose [Chorus — FIRST RELEASE] We keep borrowing the weekend Giving Sunday back too soon Lying close but feeling distant Underneath a tired moon I don't need another promise I just need you here with me You close the screen and it stays in the room [Space] Even when it's only you and me [Verse 2] Saturday became a blur Half a movie, half a meal You say, "Just another minute" Like a minute doesn't steal And I know what you're carrying I can see it in your eyes So I swallow every sharp word Before tenderness can die [Bass deepens — percussion slightly heavier] Maybe I've been angry At the wrong thing all along Maybe we're both holding on When holding on feels wrong [Pre-Chorus] Come a little closer now You don't have to explain I can love the tired parts of you I just can't love the waiting [Bridge — dry voice + Rhodes only] I miss the version of us That wasted time for free No plans No clocks No reason to be anywhere And maybe that's all I wanted Not more of you Just more of us [Brief Rhodes Solo] [Final Chorus — SECOND / FINAL RELEASE] We keep borrowing the weekend But tonight can still be ours Leave tomorrow where we found it Let it wait outside these walls I don't need another promise I don't need you fixing me Just close the screen and come lie next to me [Drums cut completely] [Outro — fragile] We lost another weekend... but I didn't lose you [one unresolved Rhodes chord] [FINAL — NO REPEAT — HARD STOP]
