“Same Side of the Booth” lyrics

Make a little room
Same side of the booth
I came here for you

I can see you need a minute, let the menu sit
You been doing everybody else's heavy lift
Tell the server bring the fries, let the phone go dim
You don't owe me the whole story, we can start with this
Saw you straighten up your shoulders when the boss walked in
Now you're leaning on my jacket, let the night begin
Not a rescue, just a seat where you can breathe a bit
Got a window full of traffic, we can watch it drift

Same side of the booth
Make a little room
Same side of the booth
I came here for you

You got quiet halfway through it
Now I know your day was hard
So I ask for extra napkins
Put my hand across your arm
You don't have to be the strong one
Every time we take this seat

Let the coffee cool
Let the streetlights change
We can stay right here
Till we feel like us again

Same side of the booth
Make a little room
Same side of the booth
I came here for you

Same Side of the Booth
