lyrics

Kebab shop glow on your cheek
Four a.m. and my feet ache
You do the voice, my knees go weak
We keep each other wide awake

Don't check your phone for the time
The sun can wait in line

Stay till the buses run
Stay till the buses run
The night's not done, the night's not done
Stay till the buses run
One more song, then one more one
Stay till the buses run

Your mascara's a smudged wing
My jacket's around you now
We split the last onion ring
You hum the chorus wrong somehow

Grey and pink above the flats
The morning's at the door
We're two tired acrobats
Falling one hour more

Stay till the buses run
Stay till the buses run
The night's not done, the night's not done
Stay till the buses run
