Lingering Flames

Don’t say it yet Come a little

closer

Your jacket’s on the kitchen chair

Two empty glasses, morning air

Last train left an hour ago We both know We don’t say

so

Your phone lights up,

you turn it down

No one needs us anywhere now

If this is really our last night Don’t make it feel Like

goodbye

We can talk tomorrow

We can ruin it then

Right now, just put that record on again

Don’t let the night know We’re almost over

Pull me a little closer

A little closer (closer) Don’t let the night know Don’t turn on

the lights

If we only get one more song Let it last all night

Oh-oh

Don’t let the night know Your shoes are waiting by the door

My lipstick’s still there on your glass

The taxi says it’s two minutes away I hit cancel

You don’t ask

There’s nothing left we need to prove

Nothing clever left to do

Just dance with me across the room Like leaving Isn’t coming soon

We can talk tomorrow

We can call it what it was

Tonight I don’t need a reason because— (because...)

Don’t let the night know

We’re almost over

Pull me a little closer

A little closer

Don’t let the night know Don’t turn on the lights If we

only get one more song Let it last all night

Oh-oh

Don’t let the night know

Not yet

Not yet

Not yet

Turn it up

Turn it up

Turn it up

5:17

Your car is downstairs

You look at me

I look anywhere

Maybe goodbye Can wait three minutes more

So I lock the door

Don’t let the night know We’re almost over

Pull me a little closer

Closer

than before Don’t let the night know Here comes the light If

we only get one more song Let it last all night All

night All night

Don’t let the night—

Your phone lights up

This time

You answer.
