Lyric

You said, “Ten minutes”

That was an hour ago

Your coat on my chair

Your phone face-down

You missed half the story

I filled in the lines

You leaned in to listen

Then stayed there a while

You say, “Don’t read into it”

I say, “I never do”

Then your knee finds mine

And neither one of us moves

Love me lightly

Miss the last train

Don’t make me miss you on a Monday night

Love me lightly

Keep it low-stakes

Leave your jacket hanging next to mine

No forever

No hard feelings

Just don’t go quiet for a week this time

Love me lightly

Love me lightly

Like you mean it with your coat still here

Two drinks empty

One coat stays

You said, “I’m leaving”

Twenty minutes late

No name, no label

No guarantee

But you keep leaving

Your things with me

You know my order

Not my middle name

Call me trouble

Then do the same

Two-fifteen

Your screen lights up

You flip it over

Like, “What’s the rush?”

One more track

Then one more round

You say you’re leaving

Still sitting down

I don’t ask

You don’t explain

We keep it simple

Then do it again

You say, “We should probably go”

I say, “Yeah, probably”

Then you move a little closer

Like that settles everything

Love me lightly

Miss the last train

Don’t make me miss you on a Monday night

Love me lightly

Keep it low-stakes

Leave your jacket hanging next to mine

No forever

No hard feelings

Just don’t go quiet for a week this time

Love me lightly

Love me lightly

Like you mean it with your coat still here

Two drinks empty

One coat stays

You said, “I’m leaving”

Twenty minutes late

No name, no label

No guarantee

But you keep leaving

Your things with me

Monday, call it nothing

I can do the same

But tonight your coat is on my chair

And I like it that way

No, I won’t ask what this is

You don’t have to explain

Just don’t kiss me like you’ll miss me

Then disappear again

Love me lightly

Miss the last train

Don’t make me miss you on a Monday night

Love me lightly

Keep it low-stakes

Leave your jacket hanging next to mine

No forever

No big ending

Just don’t go quiet for a week this time

Love me lightly

Love me lightly

Like you mean it with your coat still here

Lightly, lightly

That’s what we said

Your coat’s still here

At the foot of my bed

Lightly, lightly

Keep it that way

Call it nothing

Come Saturday
