Lyrics

Neon buzzing over a crooked sign,

Border town running out of time.

I push the door, dust on my coat,

Smells like whiskey and words unspoken.

There’s a man at the counter staring at his hands,

Like he lost something he can’t explain.

A woman by the window, eyes on the road,

Like she’s already gone but forgot to go.

Nobody asks where you’re from around here,

You just sit down and disappear.

Border town, one bar, three strangers inside,

Same cheap drink, different lies.

We talk in pieces, never out loud,

Every sentence almost comes around.

Border town, the night hangs low,

We start a story we’ll never close.

Three strangers, one broken sound,

Half a conversation in a border town.

The jukebox plays something too slow,

A song about leaving, everyone knows.

The man says, “I should’ve stayed,”

Stops halfway like he’s afraid.

The woman laughs, then looks away,

Like laughing costs too much to say.

I raise my glass, don’t add a word,

Some truths are better left unheard.

" The clock keeps ticking, no one moves,

We’re all waiting on different shoes. "

Border town, one bar, three strangers inside,

Same cheap drink, different lies.

We talk in pieces, never out loud,

Every sentence almost comes around.

Border town, the night hangs low,

We start a story we’ll never close.

Three strangers, one broken sound,

Half a conversation in a border town.

Maybe if we stayed till morning light,

We’d finish what we said tonight.

But border towns don’t ask for names,

They just forget you all the same.

Border town, last call’s near,

Nobody leaves, nobody’s here.

We stand up slow, don’t turn around,

Leave our words sitting on the ground.

" Door opens, footsteps fade, night wind "
