Dust

Back stairwell Red exit sign humming Keycard click Your hoodie on my chair Cold tile floor Our sneakers keep time You say my name Like you’re testing the air Stay When the beat runs out When the room thins out When the smoke hits the ceiling Stay Till the lights come up Till the noise dies down Till it’s only our breathing Late train maps Folded in your back pocket You trace routes That we’ll never take home Soft jawline My thumb on your pulse You laugh once Then suddenly you’re close (so close) (So close) (So close) (So close) Stay When the beat runs out When the room thins out When the smoke hits the ceiling Stay Till the lights come up Till the noise dies down Till it’s only our breathing Stay Stay When the beat runs out When the room thins out When the smoke hits the ceiling Stay
