Intro
Two o'clock, neon hum
Verse
Café door swings open by itself
Sitting here in the quiet breath
Shadows bend on the walls so fine
One cup left, and you're not mine
Your jacket still slung over the stool
Pre-Chorus
Tell me if this is all there's to it
Or if we move past the dark light
Can I stay right here with you
Or does this place just let us go too
Chorus
Café in the dark, we sat here for so long
Every cup left empty before the dawn
I keep you warm till someone comes along
But the coffee stays out here while we're gone
Verse
Your eyes catch mine across the table
For a minute neither one of us said nothing
Ice is floating in my empty glass
And I watch your chest rise up and fall
The neon sign outside has flickered off
Left with just this small pale light
Barely audible hum from the machine
But it keeps us here in this same scene
Pre-Chorus
Tell me if this is all there's to it
Or if we move past the dark light
Can I stay right here with you
Or does this place just let us go too
Chorus
Café in the dark, we sat here for so long
Every cup left empty before the dawn
I keep you warm till someone comes along
But the coffee stays out here while we're gone
Bridge
Maybe it's the way you look at me
Not with need but just some kind of light
Letting go is not letting go
It's holding on inside the dark
No more steam, no more sound
Just your breath and my own around
Chorus
Café in the dark, we sat here for so long
Every cup left empty before the dawn
I keep you warm till someone comes along
But the coffee stays out here while we're gone
Outro
Last sip left of yesterday's night
You turn and walk out into sunlight
