  Verse 1

  Green light on the floor at midnight Vending machine hums its tune You're stood there under exit signs Waiting like you've got till noon

  Chorus

  Rita, you make the hallway warmer Nothing here was built to be sweeter Some kind of love finds you anywhere Rita, nobody loves like Anita

  Verse 2

  Linoleum shining under our shoes This is not where I thought I'd stay But you're laughing at something small And I don't want to walk away

  Pre-chorus

  I've loved you in better rooms I've loved you in far worse too It's never once been about the view

  Chorus

  Rita, you make the hallway warmer Nothing here was built to be sweeter Some kind of love finds you anywhere Rita, nobody loves like Anita

  Bridge

  Let the machine keep humming low Let the light stay green and stay I'm not leaving before you go Whatever else moves, we can stay

  Chorus

  Rita, you make the hallway warmer Nothing here was built to be sweeter Some kind of love finds you anywhere Rita, nobody loves like Anita

  Outro

  Green light still finds the floor I'd wait right here for you once more

  Verse 1

  Rain on the door, it slides open wide Silver baskets stacked up near the light You reach for one and stand aside Wet leaves on your coat, and I'm alright

  Pre-chorus

  No music playing, just the hum of the store I've loved you plainer than this before Something's rising, I can't hold it in no more

  Chorus

  Rita, you're the reason I came in Anita never crossed my mind again You make the ordinary sweeter than it's been Rita, Rita, hold my hand

  Verse 2

  You push the basket, I walk behind Nothing here worth talking about at all Except you're laughing, and that's enough for mine Except the way you catch me when I fall

  Chorus

  Rita, you're the reason I came in Anita never crossed my mind again You make the ordinary sweeter than it's been Rita, Rita, hold my hand

  Bridge

  No candles lit, no fancy scene Just wheels that squeak and floors gone clean You're steady where the rest has been

  Chorus

  Rita, you're the reason I came in Anita never crossed my mind again You make the ordinary sweeter than it's been Rita, Rita, hold my hand

  Outro

  The doors slide shut behind us now Still smelling of rain, and I'm glad somehow

  Verse 1

  The kettle starts its slow hiss now Dishes sit and wait somehow You're across the room from me I watch you and my chest slows down

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need the words tonight Just this kitchen, just this light Just you turning, about to see

  Chorus

  Rita, you're the warm in this small house Nothing loud, no need to shout You could be a hundred miles And still be closer than the rest, no doubt

  Verse 2

  Steam climbs up and finds the window You laugh at something, quiet, low I forget what I was doing Just to watch your face still glow

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need the words tonight Just this kitchen, just this light Just you turning, about to see

  Chorus

  Rita, you're the warm in this small house Nothing loud, no need to shout You could be a hundred miles And still be closer than the rest, no doubt

  Bridge

  Some loves come in with all their noise Ours just sits here, holds its poise Still the kettle, still your hand near mine Still enough to make me choose you twice

  Chorus

  Rita, you're the warm in this small house Nothing loud, no need to shout You could be a hundred miles And still be closer than the rest, no doubt

  Outro

  The kettle's quiet now, gone still You're still the warmest thing I feel
