Sundowners, one more round (versie 2)

Verse

Folding chairs stacked against the gate

Guava juice sweating, we let the ice wait

Petals off the jacaranda stuck to the glass

Your suitcase zipped but the zipper won't pass

Church bell ringing three streets down

Chesa smoke curling low to the ground

Meter's running on the taxi outside

You keep checking your watch, then you catch my eyes

Pre-Chorus

Can we borrow just one more song

Stretch this minute till it's gone too long

Streetlight flickers, not quite dark

Stay a breath before we spark

Chorus

Sundowners, one more round

Ice going soft, we still around

Nobody's leaving, not just yet

Sundowners, don't forget

Verse

Ice cream cart bell down the block

Kids on bicycles, nobody's clock

Purple petals drift onto your hair

You brush them off like you don't care

Neighbour's radio bleeding through the wall

Same three notes, we know them all

Your ride is idling, the driver's patient

Guava sweet on your lips, half-eaten

Pre-Chorus

Can we borrow just one more song

Stretch this minute till it's gone too long

Streetlight flickers, not quite dark

Stay a breath before we spark

Chorus

Sundowners, one more round

Ice going soft, we still around

Nobody's leaving, not just yet

Sundowners, don't forget

Bridge

Truth is I unzipped your bag

Slipped my number under the flag

Truth is I'm holding the door

Hoping you'll want just one hour more

Petals falling slower now

Even the bell forgets its sound

Chorus

Sundowners, one more round

Ice going soft, we still around

Nobody's leaving, not just yet

Sundowners, don't forget
