Carte Blanche

Your coat is hanging by the door

The ice has melted in your glass

You check the time,

then look at me Like neither of us wants to ask The

room is quieter than before The record turns,

the needle stays We said we'd leave before it got late

Now neither one of us moves away

No promises No making sense Just give me three more minutes

Stay for one more song We don't have to talk Let the

room keep spinning Till the music stops Stay for one more song

Don't reach for the light We don't have to save this Just

don't leave tonight

One more song

One more song

That's all I want

Your ride is waiting down the street

You let the phone ring twice,

then stop

I laugh and pour what's left for us You put your keys

back on the top

Maybe tomorrow changes things

Maybe we wake up feeling clear But right now all I really

know Is I still want you standing here No promises No second

guess Just give me three more minutes

Stay for one more song We don't have to talk Let the

room keep spinning Till the music stops Stay for one more song

Don't reach for the light We don't have to save this Just

don't leave tonight One more song

One more song

That's all I want

Turn it up

A little more

Turn

it up

Don't touch the door

Your car is downstairs The sky's turning blue

I know what comes next So do you

But the needle drops And for three minutes more

Nobody leaves

Stay for one more song Even if it's wrong Let the morning

find us With the record on Stay for one more song No

need to pretend I don't need forever I just don't want this

to end One more song

One more song

Then you can go

The record stops.

Neither of us moves.
