Borrow One More Minute

electronic, sad, slow tempo (~72 BPM), female vocal, piano

[Verse 1] The cup you left beside the sink Still holds a ring of yesterday I read the note beneath the ink Then fold the paper back away [Pre-Chorus] I keep the hallway light on low As if you might come home [Chorus] If I could borrow one more minute I’d spend it saying what I meant Your name is still inside this room Though every word between us went I let the silence take your place And now it’s all I hear If I could borrow one more minute I’d keep you here [Verse 2] The winter coat behind the door Has lost the shape of your shoulders I pass it like I did before Pretending I can’t feel it colder [Pre-Chorus] The kettle clicks, the windows breathe And you’re still missing next to me [Chorus] If I could borrow one more minute I’d spend it saying what I meant Your name is still inside this room Though every word between us went I let the silence take your place And now it’s all I hear If I could borrow one more minute I’d keep you here [Bridge] Maybe love is not a door Maybe it’s the mark it leaves A small unspoken thing we wore Long after we agreed to leave [Final Chorus] If I could borrow one more minute I’d spend it saying what I meant Your name is still inside this room Though every word between us went I let the silence take your place But I can finally hear If I could borrow one more minute I’d keep you here [Outro] The cup you left beside the sink I move it now, but slowly
