Jasmine on the Fire Escape

[Intro]
[Verse]
Cardboard box on the floor
Midnight rain at the door
Ticket stubs turning gold
Stories left to be told
Faded ink on the page
Acting out on the stage
Sifting through the remains
Washing off all the stains
[Pre-Chorus]
Jasmine on the breeze
Shaking out the keys
Summer in the haze
Lost inside the maze
Iced tea in the cup
Never looking up
Streetlights in the fog
Writing in the log
[Chorus]
We were a soft mistake
More than I could take
Honey in the tea
You were next to me
No closure in the air
Love was everywhere
Now the room is still
Resting on the sill
[Post-Chorus]
Languid summer nights
Faded neon lights
Languid summer nights
Faded neon lights
[Verse]
Polaroid of your smile
Keep it for a while
Hollow body chords
Drowning out the words
Upright bass is deep
While the city sleeps
Wurlitzer is low
Nowhere left to go
[Chorus]
We were a soft mistake
More than I could take
Honey in the tea
You were next to me
No closure in the air
Love was everywhere
Now the room is still
Resting on the sill
[Bridge]
Fire escape dreams
Ripping at the seams
Flugelhorn is crying
No use even trying
Washed out in the grey
Nothing left to say
Just a ghost of you
Passing quickly through
[Hook]
Stay a little longer
Make the feeling stronger
Stay a little longer
Make the feeling stronger
Stay a little longer
Make the feeling stronger
[Breakdown]
Brushed snare on the beat
Walking down the street
Bittersweet and slow
Let the feeling grow
[Chorus]
We were a soft mistake
More than I could take
Honey in the tea
You were next to me
No closure in the air
Love was everywhere
Now the room is still
Resting on the sill
[Outro]
