“Don't Save Me a Seat” lyrics

You keep asking me to dinner
With the people we both know
I keep making up a reason
Why I can't be there at eight
You can call this being normal
I can't make it look that way

Don't save me a seat
At the table by the wall
Don't save me a seat
I can't sit through that at all

I can see you through the window
Moving coats off empty chairs
I was coming round to tell you
But I stopped beside the stairs
Now I'm walking past the restaurant
With your message in my hand

Don't save me a seat
At the table by the wall
Don't save me a seat
I can't sit through that at all

I'm not asking you to miss me
I'm not asking you to wait
I just need a little distance
Before I hear you say my name

Don't save me a seat
At the table by the wall
Don't save me a seat
I can't sit through that at all

Don't save me a seat
Not tonight
