Six Thirty

Six thirty on the dot

And I'm finally outside

The day is still behind me

But I'm leaving it tonight

My phone keeps asking questions

I let every message wait

There's something about September

That makes me want to stay out late

The air is getting cooler

The streets are filling up

I don't know where I'm going

But I think that's enough

Six thirty

That's when the day lets go

Six thirty

That's when the city starts to glow

No rush

No reason

No place I have to be

Six thirty

Feels like the first hour

That's finally mine to keep

I pass the little restaurant

Where we used to meet sometimes

Tonight I keep on walking

Following the city lights

A song comes through a doorway

Someone's laughing at the bar

I think about how strange it is

To find yourself right where you are

Maybe I don't need

A different life

Maybe I just needed

A little time

Six thirty

That's when the day lets go

Six thirty

That's when the city starts to glow

No rush

No reason

No place I have to be

Six thirty

Feels like the first hour

That's finally mine to keep

The best part of the evening

Is knowing nothing's decided

Every street is still an option

Every door is open wide

Six thirty

And the sky is turning blue

Six thirty

And the night is waiting too

No rush

No reason

Just another chance to see

How good an ordinary evening

Can really be

Six thirty

I'm right on time
