Aisle Nine Ballad

(hmm-mm-mm) Fluorescent tube flickers overhead

Your name on my lockscreen,

unread

Pushing a cart

past the checkout light Under aisle nine,

looking for a sign tonight One chair pulled out at the table

for two

Almost texted how I'm still waiting on you

And this is cheap-date devotion

in the grocery lane

Half-price candy just to ease the pain

We almost raised the volume past polite tonight

Yeah, we're holding on to a flickering light (mhm-mm)

Two dented cans of generic brand beans

Hard to believe

what this devotion means

A dining room table

with only one chair

I almost called you just to see if you care

(yeah) With cheap-date devotion

in the grocery lane

Half-price candy just to ease the pain

We almost raised the volume past polite tonight

Yeah, we're holding on to a flickering light

(oh holding on)

One chair pulled out

Aisle nine fading out (hmm-mm-mm)
