Sunday Cinema

[Verse 1] We slipped in late With a paper ticket The carpet was faded Like a page left in the rain The screen went dark Before we found our row You laughed at the trivia Like you still knew the town [Pre-Chorus] Now the credits roll And neither of us moves Outside, the rain turns white On the exit doors [Chorus] Sunday cinema We stay for the names Sunday cinema To borrow one more day Sunday cinema Side by side in the glow Sunday cinema We don't have to go [Verse 2] The staff stack cups In a tired little tower A broom leans crooked By the popcorn stain You say, "Same old place" And I say, "Mostly" Like we both know That is a kind of grace [Pre-Chorus] Now the credits roll And neither of us moves Outside, the rain turns white On the exit doors [Chorus] Sunday cinema We stay for the names Sunday cinema To borrow one more day Sunday cinema Side by side in the glow Sunday cinema We don't have to go [Bridge] Then the lights come up Slow as a held breath All that blue on the seats And the dust in the beam Your smile looks younger In the sudden clean glare Mine does too, I guess Though I'm not sure where The aisle feels wider Than it did at first Like the real world waited With its coat on in the hall But here in the hush We can let it wait Let the night get tired Before we answer back [Chorus] Sunday cinema We stay for the names Sunday cinema To borrow one more day Sunday cinema Side by side in the glow Sunday cinema We don't have to go Sunday cinema Let's linger in the frame Sunday cinema Until the rain lets go Sunday cinema No need to know Sunday cinema We can take it slow
