## Lyrics

Let me have this
You looked at me
Like you were glad I came tonight
Not just being polite
Don't ask where it goes
Don't make me call it love
I haven't felt like this in years
Just let that be enough

You moved your coat before I asked
And pulled the empty chair to me
I said I couldn't stay for long
Then stayed till everyone was leaving
You asked me how I'd been and waited
I nearly gave my usual line
But you were looking at me like that
So I took a little time

We stood outside a little longer
Although your car was there
You asked if you could see me Friday
I said 'I'm free' too fast

I had told everyone I was fine
On my own, I was doing fine
Like wanting something less out loud
Could change the way it felt inside
Now I am sitting in the taxi
With your name upon my phone
Trying not to grin at nothing
While the driver takes me home

Let me have this
You looked at me
Like you were glad I came tonight
Not just being polite
I can act normal tomorrow
I can make a joke by then
But let me have this evening
Before I make it small again
