[Verse] Pages torn and ink is fading, Corner booth, the night is waiting, Coffee cold, but thoughts keep racing, Jotting down the dreams I’m chasing. Little scribbles on a diner slip, Margins filled with one more trip, Every line’s a midnight chance, Caught between the starboard dance. [Pre-Chorus] Neon buzzes, softly hums, Waiting for the morning sun, In this quiet, I’m undone, Finding words till night is gone. [Chorus] Writing songs on receipts from the diner, Counting stars with a sleepy insider, Messy lines and a midnight reminder, Heartbeats blend in the soft glow, no finer. Writing songs on receipts from the diner, Lost in dreams that grow a little wider. [Verse] Fingers stained with yesterday’s ink, Tracing all the things I think, Every note a faint confession, Caught between a spark and question. Laughing voices from the kitchen, Mix with memories I’m stitchin’, Backbeat hums from the jukebox low, Fueling fires no one knows. [Pre-Chorus] Neon buzzes, softly hums, Waiting for the morning sun, In this quiet, I’m undone, Finding words till night is gone. [Chorus] Writing songs on receipts from the diner, Counting stars with a sleepy insider, Messy lines and a midnight reminder, Heartbeats blend in the soft glow, no finer. Writing songs on receipts from the diner, Lost in dreams that grow a little wider. [Bridge] Late night confessions under flickered lights, Whispers echo through an empty night, Every word’s a thread in the fabric I’m weaving, In the quiet moments, I find what I’m believing. [Chorus] Writing songs on receipts from the diner, Counting stars with a sleepy insider, Messy lines and a midnight reminder, Heartbeats blend in the soft glow, no finer. Writing songs on receipts from the diner, Lost in dreams that grow a little wider. [Outro] Receipts in pockets, worn and torn, Songs born in the late night dawn, Corner diner, my secret stage, Where sleepless thoughts escape the cage.
