Curtains

[Verse 1]

I called the car, left my coat

Your perfume lingers in my throat

Silhouettes and candle wax melted on the floor

The party's over, the champagne's dead

The ghost of you lies in my bed

A cigarette on the stove's all that's left

[Chorus]

I think it's curtains

Baby, it's over now

Thank the cast and crew and give each other flowers

I think it's curtains

It's time to close it down

There won't be an encore

It's time to take our bows

[Verse 2]

Fold our script like paper planes (Paper planes)

Throw it far, forget my name (Forget your name)

The violin solemnly weeping down your neck (My neck)

No rewrites, no second takes

Just a cinematic fade away

Cue the house lights now that we've reached the end

[Chorus]

I think it's curtains

Baby, it's over now

Thank the cast and crew and give each other flowers

I think it's curtains

It's time to close it down

There won't be an encore

It's time to take our bows

[Bridge]

The stage is cold, the set is bare

The seats are empty and no one's there

The orchestra pit in my stomach conducting a melody beautifully haunting

[Chorus]

I think it's curtains

Baby, it's over now

Thank the cast and crew and give each other flowers

I think it's curtains

It's time to close it down

There won't be an encore

It's time to take our bows
