[Verse 1] Clock on the wall doing nobody favors, Last call’s a rumor, we edited later. Floor’s still warm where the chorus used to live, You say “we should go” like you don’t want to give. [Pre-Chorus] Keep your coat off. Keep that little grin. The night’s not over just because they dimmed. [Chorus] After hours, we’re the only proof. After hours, I still want the truth, Not the heavy kind, just “are you still in?” After hours, let the after begin. [Verse 2] Streetlights rehearsing a quieter song, We could leave kind. We could stay too long. I like you better with the glitter half gone, Real in the booth with the house lights on. [Pre-Chorus] Keep your coat off. Keep that little grin. The night’s not over just because they dimmed. [Chorus] After hours, we’re the only proof. After hours, I still want the truth, Not the heavy kind, just “are you still in?” After hours, let the after begin. [Bridge] No encore speech. No dramatic door. Just the bass in the floor asking what it’s for. If you go, go soft. If you stay, stay close. I’m good at the ending. I want this the most. [Chorus] After hours, we’re the only proof. After hours, I still want the truth, Not the heavy kind, just “are you still in?” After hours, let the after begin.
