Under the Fluorescent Light
Style: Piano ballad

[Verse 1]
Steam rises off the paper parcels
the bottles sweat under the light
you laugh at something small and simple
and I forget the words I had

[Chorus]
Tobias, you make the ordinary hum
this counter feels like coming home
every plain thing turns to something
Tobias, I would choose this every time

[Verse 2]
We split the chips and share the vinegar
you always give the bigger half
the lights buzz on above the counter
and I watch you like it's art

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing here was built for beauty
yet somehow beauty finds its way
I feel it rising as you turn to me

[Chorus]
Tobias, you make the ordinary hum
this counter feels like coming home
every plain thing turns to something
Tobias, I would choose this every time

[Bridge]
No candles here, no careful setting
just grease and light and your two hands
but nothing ever felt so certain
as this, right here, however small

[Chorus]
Tobias, you make the ordinary hum
this counter feels like coming home
every plain thing turns to something
Tobias, I would choose this every time

[Outro]
The bottles still sweat under the light
and I would sit here always, with you
