After Hours

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your key turns soft, the hallway clock says two You leave your jacket on the chair like you always do Cold water running, silver ring beside the sink You look at me like neither one of us should think [Pre-Chorus] Let the whole day wait outside There’s nowhere else we need to be tonight [Chorus] After hours, come a little closer No plans, no names, let the night roll over After hours, keep the door on quiet Your hand finds mine and I don’t deny it Stay till the morning starts asking questions After hours, we don’t need a reason [Verse 2] Your phone lights up; you turn it face down on the bed I trace the little crease that forms above your head The city can keep all its promises and noise In here it’s just your laugh, that low familiar voice [Pre-Chorus] Let the whole day wait outside There’s nowhere else we need to be tonight [Chorus] After hours, come a little closer No plans, no names, let the night roll over After hours, keep the door on quiet Your hand finds mine and I don’t deny it Stay till the morning starts asking questions After hours, we don’t need a reason [Bridge] If the sun comes early, let it find us here No need to explain what we already know You can leave your jacket on the chair again And I’ll pretend I didn’t hope you’d stay [Final Chorus] After hours, come a little closer No plans, no names, let the night roll over After hours, keep the door on quiet Your hand finds mine and I don’t deny it Stay till the morning starts asking questions After hours, we don’t need a reason [Outro] After hours Stay a little longer After hours
