The Corner Piece

Verse

Two registers blinking in the dark

You count the drawer I sweep the lot

Midnight makes a place for us to stand

Between our stores the same cold bench

Pre-Chorus

You always get the blue one

I always take the red

We trade a nod and a candy bar

Chorus

Nothing but the hum of the cooler

Nothing but a bag of chips between friends

Nothing but the hum of the cooler

See you same time when the shift ends

Verse

You told me your sister moved away

I told you my lease runs out in May

We laugh at nothing for a while

Then the lights flick on the tile

Pre-Chorus

Your manager never asks you

Mine never asks me

So the bench becomes a place to be

Chorus

Nothing but the hum of the cooler

Nothing but a bag of chips between friends

Nothing but the hum of the cooler

See you same time when the shift ends

Bridge

Slurpee sweet and a parking lot light

Half a sandwich split in two

You save me the corner piece

I save you the last of the brew

Chorus

Nothing but the hum of the cooler

Nothing but a bag of chips between friends

Nothing but the hum of the cooler

See you same time when the shift ends

Post-Chorus

Same time same bench

Same time same bench

Mm-hmm same bench
