Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] The neon sign is flickering low The coffee’s black and moving slow I’m tracing circles on the wood Feeling things I never should My boots are worn from walking miles Hidden behind these tired smiles [Pre-Chorus] The jukebox plays a minor key It sounds a lot like me I’m drawing ghosts on paper folds Stories that the night withholds I’m letting go of every weight Before the hour gets too late [Chorus] Oh, the light is turning gold A brand new story to be told I’m washing off the dust and grit And I’m not scared to sit with it The sugar shaker feels so heavy But I’m steady, yeah I’m ready To find my peace at half-past three In this quiet company [Post-Chorus] Refill my cup I’m looking up No more tears to spill Sitting perfectly still [Verse] A sun-faded sketch of a house Quiet as a midnight mouse I used to run from every ghost The ones that hurt the most But now the slide guitar is sweet Like the rhythm of the street [Pre-Chorus] The waitress has a kindly face In this dusty, holy place I’m folding up my past regrets Paying off my heavy debts I’m letting go of every weight Before the hour gets too late [Chorus] Oh, the light is turning gold A brand new story to be told I’m washing off the dust and grit And I’m not scared to sit with it The sugar shaker feels so heavy But I’m steady, yeah I’m ready To find my peace at half-past three In this quiet company [Bridge] (Ad-lib: Oh, I'm free now!) The brass is calling out my name I’m stepping out of the flame Regret is just a shadow now I’ve wiped the sweat from my brow The upright bass begins to walk I don’t even need to talk [Chorus] Oh, the light is turning gold A brand new story to be told I’m washing off the dust and grit And I’m not scared to sit with it The sugar shaker feels so heavy But I’m steady, yeah I’m ready To find my peace at half-past three In this quiet company [Post-Chorus] Refill my cup I’m looking up No more tears to spill Sitting perfectly still [Outro]
