[Verse 1 – Male]
When it plays...
I don't hate you
I just miss us from way back when
Been quiet too long, we pretend

There’s a barstool between us—just one
But it might as well be miles
Like a ghost in denim and perfume
That still hurts when it smiles

[Verse 2 – Female]
We don’t fight, don’t flirt, don’t even touch
Just reminiscent silence—it’s all too much

You chase a shadow with every sip
Memory’s lingering like a lover’s grip
We play it safe in this old dive
But every laugh feels like a lie

[Chorus – Duet]
We don’t fight, don’t flirt, don’t even touch
Just reminiscent silence—it’s all too much

[Bridge – Duet, Alternating Lines]
But when the lights dim down
And the last call comes
Do you feel it too?
Or am I the only one?

Maybe tomorrow, we’ll find our way back
To the love that we lost, to the spark that we lack

[Refrain – Male]
There’s a barstool between us—just one
But it might as well be miles
Like a ghost in denim… and too much style

[Outro – Female]
So here’s to the nights when we felt so free
But right now this barstool is all that’s left of we

[Final Line – Duet, Harmony]
Yeah… a barstool between us, where love used to be
