lyrics

Two milk teas, one going cold
Yours — the sweet one, extra gold
The tram bell rings like before
Same seat, same hope, same old

The neon lost another letter
Half your name glows — I know better
夜晚 keeps our secret well
Some goodbyes just never fell

唔好走 — don't go
Stay till the last light show
唔好走 — don't go
The eighties chords still know
唔好走, 唔好走
I'd wait ten more years or so

Your umbrella by my door
One bent rib since ninety-four
I could mend it — but what for
We both wait like before

唔好走 — don't go
Stay till the last light show
唔好走 — don't go
The eighties chords still know
唔好走, 唔好走
I'd wait ten more years or so

If you're out there past the bay
Where the ferries trade their light
I still take the long way
So the neon holds you bright

唔好走 — don't go
Stay till the last light show
唔好走 — don't go
The eighties chords still know
唔好走, 唔好走
I'd wait ten more years or so

唔好走
Two milk teas, one going cold
