Walking Home With You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You saved the seat beside the aisle Two paper cups, one crooked smile The previews ran; we traded names For heroes lost in borrowed frames [Pre-Chorus] Then the room went dark around us And the first scene pulled us through [Chorus] We watched the whole world turn in two hours A runaway train, a house in bloom You laughed so hard you spilled the popcorn I held my breath through the final room When the credits rolled, we stayed there talking As if the story might come true Every movie found a way to end But I kept walking home with you [Verse 2] You picked the old black-and-white one Where every promise came undone I chose the space-bound, silver ship You guessed the twist before the skip [Pre-Chorus] Through the quiet after midnight You made every ending new [Chorus] We watched the whole world turn in two hours A runaway train, a house in bloom You laughed so hard you spilled the popcorn I held my breath through the final room When the credits rolled, we stayed there talking As if the story might come true Every movie found a way to end But I kept walking home with you [Bridge] Somewhere between the last train leaving And the theater locking up You said, “The best part isn’t perfect” Then you reached to take my cup [Final Chorus] We watched the whole world turn in two hours A long goodbye, a bright balloon You laughed so hard you spilled the popcorn I knew I’d miss this little room When the credits rolled, we stayed there talking While morning gathered on the avenue Every movie found a way to end But I kept walking home with you [Outro] Two paper cups, one crooked smile We took the long way home awhile
