lyrics
By the bus stop rail on Nelson Street Your coat so thin in the soaking beat You said go on, I’ll stay by the wall Hands in my sleeves, I watched you stall Your trainers dark, the pavement split You shook your head and wouldn’t lift I had the key, I had the door You said, "Nah, let me wait some more" Hold the door Hold the door Hold the door Hold the door You go in first I’ll wait out here Rain on the bin lid, hard white noise You traced one line round the window joins Cab door hissed by the chip shop gate You stood in the yard and you said, "I’ll wait" My thumb went cold on the keyring ring You blinked at me like I knew that thing I had the key, I had the door You said, "Nah, let me wait some more" Hold the door Hold the door Hold the door Hold the door You go in first I’ll wait out here Your face in the glass, all wet and red A plastic bag turning by the fence I stepped one pace, you stepped one back Then your hand caught mine on the cobbled track Hold the door Hold the door Hold the door Hold the door You go in first I’ll wait out here
