Saturday Maybe

Intro

You left your coat

I moved mine over

That's all

Well

that's not all

Verse 1

Two hooks by the doorway one coming loose

Your sleeve caught the handle I came back to you

Rain on your forehead a bag full of bread

You asked for a towel I gave you one instead

Of making some joke about English weather

I'm good with a punchline less good with forever

You took off your shoes without asking me where

I watched how the room let you already be there

The boiler complained

You said same

I laughed a bit harder than the joke could explain

You came for a film we missed half of the start

Talking through trailers in the kitchen's half-dark

Hook

There's room for your coat

Leave it next to mine

You don't have to go

Just because it's getting light

I won't ask for always

I can ask for tonight

There's room for your coat

Leave it next to mine

Verse 2

You asked how I'd been I described you my week

Late trains long shifts getting something to eat

You said yeah but you

I went quiet a while

Put a cup in the sink that was already dry

Then I told you I'd slept with the television on

How the flat gets too big when the visitors are gone

You didn't lean forward or reach for advice

Just sat on the worktop and gave me some time

Later your phone lit up blue on your knee

Last train in twenty

You looked over at me

I nearly said better get moving then

Like I hadn't been hoping you'd miss it again

Hook

There's room for your coat

Leave it next to mine

You don't have to go

Just because it's getting light

I won't ask for always

I can ask for tonight

There's room for your coat

Leave it next to mine

Bridge

I changed the sheets that afternoon

Bought the tea you like

Still acted surprised

When you stayed the night

You saw the unopened box

Smiled into your cup

Let me have my little secret

Didn't bring it up

Final Hook

There's room for your coat

Leave it next to mine

We can take it slow

We can give it time

Morning at the window

Your hand finding mine

There's room for your coat

Leave it next to mine

Outro

That hook needs fixing

Saturday maybe
