Half the City's Talking

Verse 1

Corner booth at Miller's Diner, quarter past eleven

Your jacket on my shoulders, neon turning heaven

You spun a nickel on the counter, called it fate

I said nothing but I stayed up way too late

Pre-Chorus

And the streetlights kept on humming

Like they knew what's coming

Could you feel it too?

Something breaking through

Chorus

Half the city's talking, saying we're the ones who caught it

Windows lighting up like we're the story they all wanted

Somebody's grandma waved, said "look at that, they're falling"

Half the city's talking, and for once I don't mind them talking

Verse 2

Six weeks later, walking slow past the hardware store

Mr. Dale winked at us through his cracked front door

You laughed so loud a pigeon left the ledge

I grabbed your hand right there, no fear of the edge

Pre-Chorus

And the streetlights kept on humming

Like they knew what's coming

Could you feel it too?

Something breaking through

Chorus

Half the city's talking, saying we're the ones who caught it

Windows lighting up like we're the story they all wanted

Somebody's grandma waved, said "look at that, they're falling"

Half the city's talking, and for once I don't mind them talking

Bridge

Now the diner's got new owners

Different jukebox, same old corner

Still I swear I hear the whispers

Riding on the wind at my window

Maybe love's just talk that lingers

Long after the hands stop touching

Chorus

Half the city's talking, saying we're the ones who caught it

Windows lighting up like we're the story they all wanted

Somebody's grandma waved, said "look at that, they're falling"

Half the city's talking, and for once I don't mind them talking
