Grease on the Counter
Style: Blues slow dance

[Verse 1]
Grease soaks through the paper bag
heat lamps humming amber and slow
you laugh and the whole room drags
closer to wherever you go

[Pre-chorus]
I don't need the lights to be low
don't need violins in the air
just need you across from me, Magnus

[Chorus]
Magnus, you steady my hands
stay right there, don't move an inch
this counter, these plans
Magnus, you're the easiest cinch

[Verse 2]
Salt on your fingers, ketchup stains
you wipe them and keep holding mine
the zinc top holds all our remains
of a night that turned out so fine

[Chorus]
Magnus, you steady my hands
stay right there, don't move an inch
this counter, these plans
Magnus, you're the easiest cinch

[Bridge]
Some nights it's candles and wine
some nights it's grease on the tray
either way you're still mine
either way I'm still here to stay

[Chorus]
Magnus, you steady my hands
stay right there, don't move an inch
this counter, these plans
Magnus, you're the easiest cinch

[Outro]
Bag's gone soft, the lamp's burning low
you're still the warmest thing I know
