Your earrings in a water glass My shirt beneath your cheek We meant to use the balcony We meant to get some sleep Your voice is low this morning Mine’s barely there at all You ask what time they want us out I say, “I’ll make a call” They say they’ll give us until two I thank them like that’s plenty You look up from the pillow And all at once it isn’t A little longer Let the afternoon come through With your dress still on the armchair And last night still on you A little longer I could lose the daylight too I said we should be leaving I didn’t say I wanted to I didn’t say I wanted to A little longer here with you You start to put your earrings on Then catch me in the glass You take the first one out again Before I even ask Both phones go in your Birkin You leave it on the chair I’ve never liked an empty day Till you had one to spare I call down for the afternoon You say, “The evening, too” So much for being sensible I was, before you moved A little longer Let the afternoon come through With your dress still on the armchair And last night still on you A little longer I could lose the daylight too I said we should be leaving I didn’t say I wanted to I didn’t say I wanted to A little longer here with you We could have this room again Same floor, same view But I don’t want a different night I want more of this one with you A little longer Let the afternoon come through Leave your dress there on the armchair There’s still last night on you A little longer I could lose the daylight too I said we should be leaving I didn’t say I wanted to “Another night, please” I set the phone beside the bed You make a little room for me And nothing else gets said
