Back Room

You said, you said

You said meet me there
Past the folded chairs
Backroom, black door
Dust on the floor
Your name on my tongue
Like a half-lit drum
I kept it quiet
If you kept me coming

One step in
Then you pulled me close
Held my breath
Like you knew me more

Backroom
Backroom

Take me there again
Backroom
Backroom
Where the noise goes thin

Backroom
Backroom
You know what I need
Backroom
Backroom
Lock that door for me

Record, cold hand
Trace marks on the wall
You laughed once
I lost it all
No crowd, no talk
Just that look you gave
Like you found my secret
And knew my name

One step in
Then you pulled me close
Held my breath
Like you knew me more

Backroom
Backroom

Take me there again
Backroom
Backroom
Where the noise goes thin

Backroom
Backroom
You know what I need
Backroom
Backroom
Lock that door for me

Let the night bend low
Let the back, let the floorboards creak
Say my, say my name real slow
Then don't let go
Of me

Backroom
Backroom

Take me there again
Backroom
Backroom
Where the noise goes thin

Backroom
Backroom
You know what I need
Backroom
Backroom
Lock that door for me
