leaving in 10 minutes
is leaving 10 minutes too soon
you could stay
and sleep to share my bed
and us not wake up 'til noon

inside my suffocated heart
there's my parents
and there's my guitars
but between those two loves is another
and that is where you are

you're leaving in 10 minutes
just to stand in a sweaty stance line
what's wrong with one last kiss
or one last cup of coffee
anything to waste even more needed time?

please don't forget my number
let alone my tiny, common name
one day you'll call
and carry on a conversation
and i probably won't be the same

but when you're leaving in 10 minutes
and 10 minutes is not enough
i'll take down your name
i'll take down your number
and try my best to be tough
