Corner booth, midnight sugar. You grin; I play slow. Pink straw spins a secret— you sip, whisper low: keep it tender, you say. I hum; let it flow. Coat sleeves hide the tremor; streetlight inks our hands. Kick drum in my ribcage— we drift off-plan. say my name stay the same Window frost writes halos; warm cups fog the glass. You trace tiny circles; the till-clock fogs and stalls. Steam lifts little banners— we let the door-light pass. Snare snaps; nerves settle. Keys rain soft and slow. Your name—bright cymbal— I move where you go. say my name keep the same time Two coats on one hook; receipt curls like a wave. Mask strings in our pockets— we count in: two, then brave. say my name stay the same say my name stay the same
Lyrics
Corner booth, midnight sugar You grin, I play slow Pink straw spins your secret You sip, whisper low You say, keep it tender I hum, let it flow Coat sleeves hide the tremble Streetlight paints our hands Kick drum in my ribcage We ditch careful plans say my name stay the same Window frost writes halos Warm cups fog the glass You trace tiny circles Time learns not to pass You say, truth is messy I laugh, let that last Snare snaps, nerves settle Keys rain soft and slow Your name rings like cymbal I move where you go say my name stay the same No mask tonight Choose wrong or right say my name stay the same say my name stay the same
