Table For Two

Lyrics: the drapes pulled tight, the parlor sits dead still two heavy glasses waiting on the table thick red staining the scratched white wood we threw the deadbolt just to kill the time the street goes quiet, the daylight fades there’s nothing else we have to face right now. just a table for two, a cleared out room a single spark cutting through the gloom we drew a line around this dining space to make a perfect, isolated place yeah, a table for two. just me and you. the bottle breathes, a dark and bitter red catching the porch light bleeding through the blinds no crowded voices, no rushing cars just the dust settling on the floorboards we poured a drink to make the promise true this little island we built for two. but there’s a cold truth pacing out on the lawn a consequence we have to face by morning a heavy weight leaning on the screen door threatening to ruin what we're hiding for we turn our heads and look the other way and beg the quiet of the house to stay. at this table for two, a cleared out room a single spark cutting through the gloom we drew a line around this dining space to make a perfect, isolated place yeah, a table for two. just me and you.
