Corner booth, cheap tinsel. You sip cherry coke. Thumb spins my old lighter— I grin, float a joke. You say, keep it tender; I hum, catch your smoke. Coat sleeves hide the shiver; streetlights paint our hands. Kick drum in my ribcage— we move, ditch the plans. Hold Me Close Say It Slow Foil crown, creased bright. Snow freckles the glass. Jukebox pockets seconds; minutes loiter. You say, lay the truth down. I nod—let it last. Snare snaps; nerves settle. Keys rain soft and low. Your name rings like cymbal— I lean into the glow. No bluff tonight— we leave our exits burning. Hold Me Close Say It Slow

Corner booth, cheap tinsel You sip cherry coke Thumb spins my old lighter I grin, make a joke You say, keep it tender I hum, catch your smoke Coat sleeves hide the shiver Streetlights paint our hands Kick drum in my ribcage We move, ditch the plans hold me close say it slow Paper hat, bent halo Snow freckles the glass Neon throws pink halos Time learns not to pass You say, lay the truth down I nod, let it last Snare snaps, nerves settle Keys rain soft and low Your name rings like cymbal I lean, take the glow hold me close say it slow No bluff tonight Choose wrong or right hold me close say it slow hold me close say it slow
