Lyrics

[Intro]
Exit 9, and the windows are sweating light
You drove two hours just to sit here all night

[Verse 1]
I'm laughing at the jukebox, I'm rating all the pie
I'm doing anything but looking you in the eye
The pot comes circling back like it already knows
I've got a chipped white mug and nowhere else to go
You ask me how I'm doing and I talk about the rain

[Pre-Chorus]
The clock above the register keeps moving anyway
And I can feel the hours getting thin
Don't let me fall asleep in this booth
Don't let the morning in

[Chorus]
Pour me five more — I'm staying 'til it's light
I'll take the orange lot over whatever's on the other side
Keep the table, keep the radio, keep me right here tonight
Pour me five more — I'm staying 'til it's light

[Verse 2]
Forty-one hours and I did it on purpose
I kept my eyes wide open so the thinking couldn't work
Every set of headlights, I check to see who came
Half of me still hopes, half of me's ashamed
You didn't say a word, you just ordered me a plate

[Pre-Chorus]
The sky's already grey-blue at the edges
And I can't make it hold where it's been
Don't let me fall asleep in this booth
Don't let the morning in

[Bridge]
I'm not scared of the dark
I never was, not once
I'm scared of what I'll have to say when it's morning
And morning always comes

[Final Chorus]
Pour me five more — I'm staying 'til it's light
I'm walking out to meet it in the middle of the lot tonight
Let it hit me in the face, let it find me standing right
Pour me five more — I'm staying 'til it's light

[Outro]
Leave the mug, I'm going out to see the sky
Thank you for the two hours. Thank you for the night.
