Dj one song for us

(whispers) don’t leave me alone… don’t leave me alone… I locked the shop at nine, rain tapping slow Your text said let it go, I tried to play it cold I walked past our old stop, the night smelled like gasoline Downstairs through a door, under lamp light I found the beat I wrote on a coaster: please play our silly song Gave it to the DJ with his headphones half on He looked up, gave a nod like he knew every line And somewhere in the room the world fell back in time DJ - one song for us The one with the bright synth and the too-sweet choir Put it on repeat till the sunrise blush Maybe she still hears me, maybe she turns around DJ - one song for us I’ll dance by myself if I have to tonight Shake the city loose, make the night feel young Till she looks back on the hook and softly smiles (soft chops) for-us, for-us (whisper) play it one more time… one more time… I saw you by the bar, wet curls on your neck You acted like it’s nothing, but your eyes kept my step The very first note of ours, that tiny little lift You didn’t walk away, and then your smile cracked the floor at the riff I counted 1-2-3 and held my breath at the lights The DJ pulled it lower, let the choir float light You walked across to me, your hand brushed my chest You didn’t say a word - somehow that said the rest DJ - one song for us The one with the bright synth and the too-sweet choir Put it on repeat till the sunrise blush Maybe she still hears me, maybe she turns around DJ - one song for us I’ll dance by myself if I have to tonight Shake the city loose, make the night feel young Till she looks back on the hook and softly smiles (vocoder) power ready - meters steady - green lights everywhere - let the needle hum (whisper) come back… come back… DJ - one song for us The one with the bright synth and the too-sweet choir Put it on repeat till the sunrise blush Maybe she still hears me, maybe she turns around DJ - one song for us I’ll dance by myself if I have to tonight Shake the city loose, make the night feel young Till she looks back on the hook and softly smiles Rain turned into confetti on the street outside The DJ tossed a little woop for the late-night ride I smoothed the folded note and slid it back inside Coffee stain and pencil: will you come back - yes
