lyrics

Eleven forty-eight, your name on my screen

The tea in my cup goes cold and green

I fold my silk scarf on the edge of the bed

You write, “still awake?” and I picture your hands instead

I count the tiles by the sink in the hall

One soft buzz and I answer it all

My thumb on the glass, my heart in a spin

You always arrive right before I give in

Same name again

Same name again

Same name again

Same name again

One last text, and I’m back at the start

Same name again

Same name again

Same name again

The red tram sighs past on Rue de la Paix

At one twelve, your message turns the night gray

My lipstick on paper, my keys in the dish

You say “just one minute,” and I make a wish

The radiator clicks in the blue-laced room

Your typing dots bloom then they vanish too soon

I leave the lamp on, I leave it for you

You know how to pull me from midnight to two

Same name again

Same name again

Same name again

Same name again

One last text, and I’m back at the start

Same name again

Same name again

Same name again

Now the métro doors shut with a silver slam

My phone face-down on the quilted lamb

But at two seventeen, there it is, alive

Your name on the glass and I’m wide-eyed, revived

Same name again

Same name again

Same name again

Same name again

One last text, and I’m back at the start

Same name again

Same name again

Same name again
