lyrics

Jason LeVasseur - Monroe Street

(G) The party is over and you just closed the door
all guests have headed home it’s time to sweep the floor
(Em) i know you’re leaving (C) yeah i know you’re leaving too (G)

wishing and hoping that you would stick around
can’t believe that you’re standing here are you just the last one out?
I think you’re leaving I hope you don’t leave too soon
but you stared at me and I am looking back at you

(C) paper plates all in the trash
(C) brushing off cigarette ash
(C) you won’t be leaving if (Em) I keep on dreaming
(B) hope that this (C) party will last

I’d like to take our picture and preserve this mystery
in this moment before kissing how fast my heart could beat
as you reached for me and I leaned into you
yeah you reached for me and I leaned in to you

Chorus

What can I (F#) do to keep you here on Monroe Street?

Now last night’s all over it just went so fast
was i only dreaming to think that it would last
as you reached for me and I leaned into you
yeah you reached for me must have been dreaming ‘bout you

I forgot to clean up before I fell asleep
the streamers will be coming down and the floors I need to sweep
but I just rolled over and found myself looking right at you
your mouth opened said “c’mon now we’ve got work to do”

(C) paper plates all in the trash
(C) brushing off cigarette ash
(C) you won’t be leaving if (Em) I keep on dreaming
(B) I’m hoping this (C) moment will last (G)
