Until Midnight

You left your suitcase by the doorway / Like you're coming back tomorrow / I didn't ask where you were going / You didn't ask what I was thinking / We ordered what we always order / You took the wine, I took the water / You laughed when I complained about it / Like you hadn't heard it all before / The waiter brought the check / You reached for it first / We argued over forty dollars / Like that was what hurt / Don't say the word / Don't make it real / We know what this is / We just don't have to feel it / We're good until midnight / We're good until the lights come on / We're good until somebody asks us / Where we're going when we're gone / We're good until midnight / So stay a little longer / Tomorrow can have the truth / Tonight we can pretend we're stronger / You showed me a photograph / Then put your phone back down / I saw your thumb hover over it / You didn't delete it / We drove around the neighborhood / With nowhere left to go / You pointed out the new apartment / You said you'd never live there / I said, It looks expensive / You said, It has a balcony / We both knew what you were doing / We both let it be / Don't say the word / Don't make it real / You know what this is / I know exactly how it feels / We're good until midnight / We're good until the lights come on / We're good until somebody asks us / Where we're going when we're gone / We're good until midnight / So stay a little longer / Tomorrow can have the truth / Tonight we can pretend we're stronger / At eleven forty-seven / You asked if I was tired / At eleven fifty-two / You turned the television higher / At eleven fifty-nine / You looked at me and smiled / Like we had beaten something / Just by making it this far / Then the clock changed / And neither of us moved / We're good until midnight / But midnight came and went / You took your suitcase from the doorway / I watched you carry it downstairs / We're good until midnight / I guess that's all we had / A few more hours of being us / Before we had to call it that / You left the key on the table / I didn't ask you to stay
