lyrics

At the ferry gate, one forty-five

Your jacket’s dark, but you stay outside

Boots in a puddle, hands in your sleeves

I held the door, you watched me leave

Rain on the rails, hard on the glass

You let me go in and let the crowd pass

I turned at the turnstile, looked back twice

You shook your head in the cold streetlight

Stay outside

Stay outside

Stay outside

Stay outside

I’ll go first

You hold the line

Stay outside

Stay outside

By Blaak station, the platform shakes

Your hair goes flat in the cold rain wake

I buy two coffees, paper cups

You say, “Not yet,” and you shrug it off

Water on stone, white foam in the drain

Your shoes get dark from the tramline rain

I push the door, you lean on the wall

Waiting on you like a hit in the hall

Stay outside

Stay outside

Stay outside

Stay outside

I’ll go first

You hold the line

Stay outside

Stay outside

Three minutes gone, then seven more

A key in my fist, by the spinning door

You count the drops on the zinc roof seam

Then step in slow like you made the scene

Stay outside

Stay outside

Stay outside

Stay outside

I’ll go first

You hold the line

Stay outside

Stay outside
