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
