Market Lights

[Verse 1] Half past five and the sky went blue, your breath's a cloud, your nose is too. We lost the map three stalls ago, your mittens keep the mug too slow. A brass band trips on a broken beat, and everyone's a stranger sweet. [Pre-Chorus] You grab my sleeve, say "look, up there" — a thousand little bulbs on wire, and I forget the way back home, I don't wanna find it anymore. [Chorus] Oh, we're the last two on the lane, cinnamon caught in your hair, spilling laughter, spilling change, we could stay all winter here. Let the whole world close its doors, let it snow, let it pour — I don't need a single thing but this cup and you and the glow. [Verse 2] Some tin star turns above the crowd, you sing the wrong words far too loud. A vendor winks, gives one for free, a burnt sweet almond just for me. Your cheeks gone red, not from the cold, and neither, honestly, are mine. [Pre-Chorus] You lean your shoulder into me, we watch the steam rise off the tea, and nothing's said 'cause nothing needs — this is the only place to be. [Chorus] Oh, we're the last two on the lane, cinnamon caught in your hair, spilling laughter, spilling change, we could stay all winter here. Let the whole world close its doors, let it snow, let it pour — I don't need a single thing but this cup and you and the glow. [Bridge] Somewhere a clock says time to leave, but you just pull me down the street — "one more round, then home," you say, knowing neither of us means it anyway. And oh, I clocked it right back then: best friend, I've been falling since. [Chorus] Oh, we're the last two on the lane, cinnamon caught in your hair, and I finally found the words I'd been swallowing all year. Let the whole world close its doors, let it snow, let it pour — turns out all I ever wanted was this cup and you and the glow. [Outro] The lights blink off, the stalls come down, you're still humming, walking me home.
