Till the Library Closes

Verse 1

Guitar and voice

Same table by the window againYou with your chemistry notesMe pretending that I read SpanishWe've been stuck on page one for hoursAnd neither of us turns it

Pre-Chorus

They flick the lights at ten to nineWe pack up as slow as we can

Chorus

Stay till the library closesNobody's here to readJust you, me, and quietStay till the library closes

Verse 2

And you wrote your number on my handOn the bookmark that I never usedI didn't wash it for a weekThe librarian knows both our names now

Pre-Chorus

They flick the lights at ten to nineWe pack up as slow as we can

Chorus

Drums enter

Stay till the library closesNobody's here to readJust you, me, and quietStay till the library closes

Bridge

Falsetto, guitars swelling

Maybe someday we'll come here and actually readMaybe not, I hope not

Final Chorus

Full band, falsetto soaring

Stay till the library closesNobody's here to readJust you, me, and quietStay till the library closesStay till the library closesNobody's here to readJust you, me, and quietStay till the library opens
