Two Mugs Gone Cold
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
We sat down and forgot the tea
Talking like there was nowhere to be
Cold outside on the concrete step
You laughed and the whole street heard

[Pre-chorus]
Time got away from us again
I never once minded when
It's you that I keep coming back to

[Chorus]
Carl, you make the hours stand still
I'd sit here cold with you until
Every last light in this town goes dark
Nobody else gives me that thrill

[Verse 2]
The tea went cold before we knew
Steam gone, but I stayed close to you
Some things get better left alone
Like this, like us, like nothing new

[Chorus]
Carl, you make the hours stand still
I'd sit here cold with you until
Every last light in this town goes dark
Nobody else gives me that thrill

[Bridge]
Doesn't matter what gets left undone
Long as I'm sitting next to someone
Who makes the waiting feel like home

[Chorus]
Carl, you make the hours stand still
I'd sit here cold with you until
Every last light in this town goes dark
Nobody else gives me that thrill

[Outro]
Let the tea sit there and turn
There's a warmth that never adjourns
