[Intro] [Low city hum] Nine forty-seven. The traffic thins. [Verse 1] A glass turns upside down to dry The final table wiped again A chair goes slowly upside down Beside another Then another Across the street a metal shutter Rattles halfway to the ground Someone checks the register Turns the key And kills the sound [Pre-Chorus] One by one The signs go dark One by one The doors are locked The city isn't stopping Just letting go [Chorus] One light left On the fourth floor One chair moving Behind one door The streets grow quiet One room at a time Nothing has ended It's simply nighttime [Verse 2] A woman steps out from a shop Pulls her coat against the air Sees herself inside the glass And quickly fixes up her hair Two buses pass with empty seats A taxi waits beneath a tree The crossing changes red to green For almost nobody To see [Pre-Chorus] One by one The footsteps fade One by one The day is put away No final word No closing line Just less of everything At a time [Chorus] One light left On the fourth floor One chair moving Behind one door The streets grow quiet One room at a time Nothing has ended It's simply nighttime [Instrumental] [Verse 3] A broom moves slowly through the bar Coins settle underneath a hand Someone drags a cardboard box From where the morning used to stand A bicycle crosses the square A dog pulls someone toward home Above the roofs the windows darken Floor by floor And one by one [Bridge] But four floors up A screen is glowing Someone reads The same line twice Types three words Then takes them back Looks down At the empty street The cursor blinks The cursor blinks The cursor blinks ... Enough. [Final Chorus] One light left On the fourth floor One coat lifted From behind the door The streets are quiet The hour is late A laptop closes An elevator waits One light left Above the street ... Click. [Outro] [Soft vibraphone note] Dark. [Low city hum] ... Goodnight.
