Same Town, Separate Tables

I won't ask you not to come here
You were coming here before
I won't make the waitress nervous
When you walk through that door
We can both still know the owner
We can both still like the food

Same town, separate tables
We can learn to let it be
I won't make you leave your coffee
You don't have to look at me

I can wave without a meaning
You can smile without a start
We don't need to turn the diner
Into sides that people mark
I can leave you with your breakfast
You can leave me with my friends

Same town, separate tables
We can learn to let it be
I won't make you leave your coffee
You don't have to look at me

We made love feel like a border
Running right across this street
Now we're taking down the checkpoints
We still gotta live and eat

Same town, separate tables
We can learn to let it be
I won't make you leave your coffee
You don't have to look at me

Same town, separate tables
We can both belong
