lyrics
Your jacket's hanging on my chair Like it's been there all its life The record hums and I don't care That side A has played twice The wine is down to one last inch The lamp is burning low Don't check your phone, don't even flinch There's nowhere else to go Leave your shoes, leave your shoes Right there beside my door Leave your shoes, leave your shoes That's what mornings are for Leave your shoes, leave your shoes Let the lamp burn out to day Leave your shoes, leave your shoes Stay, and stay, and stay Two glasses standing in the sink One is wearing lipstick red It's later than we want to think And neither of us said— Streetlight through the window blind Gold bars laid across your skin I've kissed the morning from my mind Whatever this is, I'm in Leave your shoes, leave your shoes Stay, and stay, and stay
