“Meet Me by the Lift” lyrics

Button says we're going down
Meet me by the lift

I was coming here for business

Meet me by the lift
Button says we're going down
Meet me by the lift
Take me somewhere loud

I got bored of being polite
You got tired of holding coats
I was staring at the carpet
You were making little jokes
Now we're slipping past the flowers
Trying not to spill our cups

You pressed every single button
Said the party needs a tour
Now we're laughing on the fifth floor
At a very serious door
I was coming here for business
Now I'm asking for your name

Meet me by the lift
Button says we're going down
Meet me by the lift
Take me somewhere loud

Which floor?
Not yours
Which floor?
One more

Which floor?
Not yours
Which floor?
One more

We can miss the closing speeches
We can catch the morning train
If the doors keep opening
I'll keep asking you to stay

Meet me by the lift
Button says we're going down
Meet me by the lift
Take me somewhere loud

Meet me by the lift
Take me somewhere loud
