You and this bar

Smoke me to ashes

I wish you would

I’m sitting between your lips

unignited and wondering

why I ever left your fingertips

Drink me down to the last drop

I wish you would

I’m sitting here with an open top

and the fizz is disappearing 

by the minute

in a few I’ll be stale

just another wasted bottle 

for you to hold in your hand

wondering if it’s worth drinking

Play me a song

I wish you would

I’m the jukebox staring

at you trying to pick

wondering if it’ll be Turnpike

or you’ll give up and go back

to sittin’ alone

Take a glance at me

I wish you would

I’m the neon light buzzin’

wonderin’ why you ever 

walked into here if 

you’re scared of cigarettes 

music and beer

Put something on your tab

I wish you would

Im the bartender across 

from you waiting 

for an order or just

a conversation 

I can’t have you taking up

a seat just debating

Take me out on the floor

I wish you would

I’m the woman down the bar

who’s been looking at you

all night long, but I guess

you’re too scared to dance

I’d buy you a drink, but I haven’t

seen you finish your first

I’d give you a light, but you’ll 

just put it out

I’d play you song, but you

lost all your change trying

to find something to cry to

I’d dance with you, but you

won’t leave your seat

I’d sit beside you in silence,

but you’ve decided to leave
