[Verse 1]
Two cups cooling
Lipstick on yours
You talk in circles
Trace hearts on the floor
You’re laughing easy
Like you don’t see
The way the server
Keeps winking at me
[Chorus]
You’re my corner booth Polaroid
Shaking in my hands
Slowly coming in focus
We’re a half-finished song I avoid
Humming in my head every time that you’re closest
If I look too long
I’ll fall right through
So I steal small frames of you
[Verse 2]
Your phone keeps buzzing
Face down by the forks
You say it’s “just him”
With that practiced smirk
I stir my coffee
Past hot
Past warm
Trying to play cool
In this quiet storm
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You say
"We’re just friends"
Like a traffic light stuck on yellow
I laugh it off again
But my heartbeat’s driving reckless
Hello?
If someday you turn and ask
Where I’ve been hiding all this time
I’ll point back at this photograph
And the space between your hand and mine
[Chorus]
Two cups cooling
Lipstick on yours
You talk in circles
Trace hearts on the floor
You’re laughing easy
Like you don’t see
The way the server
Keeps winking at me
[Chorus]
You’re my corner booth Polaroid
Shaking in my hands
Slowly coming in focus
We’re a half-finished song I avoid
Humming in my head every time that you’re closest
If I look too long
I’ll fall right through
So I steal small frames of you
[Verse 2]
Your phone keeps buzzing
Face down by the forks
You say it’s “just him”
With that practiced smirk
I stir my coffee
Past hot
Past warm
Trying to play cool
In this quiet storm
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You say
"We’re just friends"
Like a traffic light stuck on yellow
I laugh it off again
But my heartbeat’s driving reckless
Hello?
If someday you turn and ask
Where I’ve been hiding all this time
I’ll point back at this photograph
And the space between your hand and mine
[Chorus]
Stijl van muziek
Warm, clean early-2000s pop-rock: lightly overdriven Strat lead over a swung drum groove, round bass, and gentle Rhodes pads. Verses stay intimate and wordy with close-mic male vocals; choruses bloom with doubled top-line and subtle three-part harmonies. Tasteful guitar fills answer key phrases, bridge strips back to vocal + guitar before a soulful solo lifts into the final hook. Smooth, relaxed mix with focus on storytelling.
