Starlit

You wrote my name above your score

With a pencil you had borrowed

I sent two balls straight down the side

Trying to ask about tomorrow

You said, "You ought to watch the lane"

I said, "I'm doing all right"

Natalie, you laughed so hard

We stayed another game that night

I still forget what I was saying

When you look at me that way

You're still my favourite part

Of a Friday, of a day

Of the life we keep on making

While the plans get rearranged

You can find me in the middle

Of a hundred things to do

And I still want to drop them all

To spend an hour with you

Owen's building half a castle

Out of cardboard on the floor

You're holding up the crooked roof

I'm sent out to buy some more

He says, "Please stop all that kissing"

Like we're putting on a show

You reach for me behind his back

And I hope he always knows

There's a reason we keep laughing

When the evening goes off course

You're still my favourite part

Of a Friday, of a day

Of the life we keep on making

While the plans get rearranged

You can find me in the middle

Of a hundred things to do

And I still want to drop them all

To spend an hour with you

You said, "Let's go out on Friday"

I had almost said, "I'm tired"

Then you stood there in the doorway

And I found I'd changed my mind

I don't only love our story

Or the way we used to be

I love hearing what you're thinking

When it's only you and me

You're still my favourite part

And I want another day

With your shoes beside the front door

And your coat across my chair

Natalie, I'm still the man

Who couldn't watch the lane

If you've got another hour

I'd stay another game

I'd stay another game

You're still my favourite part
