Lobby Lights Fade

Standing on the pavement cold

Looking at a screen that glows

Outside your building

where the security guard patrols He checks my coat,

he checks my keys

Checks my ID twice with a heavy freeze I type a message,

thumbing the glass But delete it fast before the moments pass

It's closing time

inside the lobby bar

I'm blocked outside, looking up at where you are Yeah,

I'm stuck behind the line

Checking my reception one more time

(one more time)

Hotel lights reflections

on the wet concrete

I hear the bass leaking from down the street

I keep my head down,

collar pulled up high He looks at my face,

lets out a tired sigh One last draft of words I'll never

send Locked out of your building,

acting like a friend

It's closing time

inside the lobby bar

I'm blocked outside, looking up at where you are Yeah,

I'm stuck behind the line

Checking my reception one more time (one more time)

Checking my ID twice

Cold night air (hmmmmm)
