why linger? Lyrics

I'm disconnected from events

Why linger?

That's why these nights are rare

If I get to thinking

It's guaranteed that I'll get here

Never been someone's long-term option

Not because there's nothing there

Falling in love abroad

Doesn't fare well

I live far, I'm aware

But it was healthy

And a perfect first try at something tangible

Even though December was the agreed cut-off time

I'm disconnected from events

Why linger?

That's why these nights are rare

If I get to thinking

It's guaranteed that I'll get here

Dance with me

Kiss me in the back of the club

Hold me on the four-hour train

With views of the French Riviera

Bring your coughing baby warm tea

Kiss her softly anyway

Keep us a secret

It's not their business

I love that this is our cryptic thing

I'm disconnected from events

Why linger?

That's why these nights are rare

If I get to thinking

It's guaranteed that I'll get here
