Lonely in Bars

Over twilight drinks in Dallas, I was sure that you were taken

But a vacant left ring finger had me happily mistaken

Even though you spoke of an older man and being on and off with him

You swore the fire burned out and was doused years ago

I didn't have the gumption to articulate my vision

But I could see my hands around you with grace and precision

Lights off and the door locked and our hearts beating strong

My greatest fear would be the morning coming on

You say you don't wanna be alone

Well, I don't wanna leave here on my own

I'll close your tab and hail a cab and we can make this moment ours

Finally say goodbye to being lonely in bars

I don't mean to be too forward, but I don't want you to disappear

In some crowded neon haze that reeks of lust and beer

Your history's a mystery and I don't need to know it all

But I hate to see you forlorn in the throws of last call

You say you don't wanna be alone

Well, I don't wanna leave here on my own

Take a shot, see what we've got and make this moment ours

Finally say goodbye to being lonely in bars

Let's pay the tab and hail a cab and we can make this moment ours

Finally say goodbye to being lonely in bars

So here we are in Dallas moving on to midnight drinks

And as you check your phone again, my heart only sinks

I can't make up your mind for you, but you know just where I stand

Across the table with an offer, the embarrassment be damned

You say you don't wanna be alone

Well, I don't wanna leave here on my own

Take a shot, see what we've got and make this moment ours

Finally say goodbye to being lonely in bars

Pay the tab and hail a cab and we can make this moment ours

Finally say goodbye to being lonely in bars
