Last Song, House Lights Up

by Cassio Lune

“The band plays one more, slowly, and the floor empties. It's a goodbye to every small venue I've ever loved.”

Lyrics

The band plays one more slowly
The floor is almost bare
Chairs are going upside down
There's glitter in the air

Somebody's holding someone
Somebody's finding a coat
I stay a little longer
For the last song's last note

Play the last song, play it slow
Let the whole room come and go
House lights up and we don't mind
One more song to leave behind
Play the last song, play it slow
Take us gently home

The bartender is humming
The singer's voice is thin
We sway like we have all night
Though the night is wearing thin

Every face is softer now
Every step is light
Nobody wants to be the first
To say goodnight

Play the last song, play it slow
Let the whole room come and go
House lights up and we don't mind
One more song to leave behind
Play the last song, play it slow
Take us gently home

One more chorus, one more time
Hold the chord a while
Then the street is wet and shining
And I'm walking with a smile

Play the last song, play it slow
Let the whole room come and go
House lights up and we don't mind
One more song to leave behind
Play the last song, play it slow
Take us gently home

Take us gently home
Goodnight
