Lonely in Bars

[Verse 1]
Over twelve drinks in Dallas I was sure that you were taken
But a vacant left ring finger had me happily mistaken
Even though you spoke of an older man being on and off with him
You swore the fire burnt down and was doused years ago

[Verse 2]
I didn’t have the gumption to articulate my vision
But I can see my hands around you with grace and precision
Lights off and the door locked in, our hearts beating strong
My greatest fear would be the morning coming on

[Pre-Chorus]
You say you don’t wanna be alone
Well I don’t wanna leave here on my own

[Chorus]
I’ll close your tab and hail a cab and we can make this moment ours
And finally say goodbye to being lonely in bars

[Verse 3]
I don’t mean to be too forward but I don’t want you to disappear
In some crowded neon haze that reeks of lust and beer
History’s a mystery and I don’t need to know it all
But I hate to see you forlorn in the throes of last call

[Pre-Chorus]
You say you don’t wanna be alone
Well I don’t wanna leave here on my own

[Chorus]
Take the shot and see what we got and make this moment ours
And finally say goodbye to being lonely in bars
Let’s pay the tab and hail a cab and we can make this moment ours
And finally say goodbye to being lonely in bars

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
So here we are in Dallas moving on to midnight drinks
And as you check your phone again my heart only sinks
I can’t make up your mind for you but you know just where I stand
Across the table with an offer, the embarrassment be damned

[Pre-Chorus]
You say you don’t wanna be alone
Well I don’t wanna leave here on my own

[Chorus]
Take the shot and see what we got and make this moment ours
And finally say goodbye to being lonely in bars
Let’s pay the tab and hail a cab and we can make this moment ours
And finally say goodbye to being lonely in bars
