The Room Still Knows My Name

I don’t check the mirror
I already know
The light in here
Does what it always does

The room still knows my name
Says it quietly
Like it’s not surprised
I came back again

There’s a chair that leans
More than it should
I don’t fix it
I never would

I remember where
The noise drops out
Where the night
Starts to slow itself down

The room still knows my name
Doesn’t ask me why
Just lets me stay
Like there’s time

Someone changed the song
Halfway through
Nobody noticed
But I did

There’s a pause
Before the second drink
That tells you more
Than you think

I don’t need to look
For a sign
I’ve been here
Enough times

The room still knows my name
Doesn’t ask me why
Just lets me stay
Like there’s time

Some places don’t remember you
They just recognise the shape

The room still knows my name
And that’s alright
I’m not new here
I’m just passing time

Still passing time
