"たまたま見つけたんだ" ってさっき言ったけど
本当はずっと前から 君を連れて来たかったんだ

キャンドルが優しく揺れる この店のカウンターで
君はうれしそうに彼にもらった 指輪を眺めてる

君の心に 僕の雫は落ちないけど
このバーボンとカシスソーダがなくなるまでは
君は 君は 僕のものだよね

鍵をかけて (I miss you) 時間を止めて (even if) 
君がここから離れないように (I'm with you, baby)
少しだけ酔い始めてるのかな 本当の気持ちだけど
君も少し (I want you) 酔った方がいい (even if) 
そして僕の肩に寄りかかればいい (love somebody else)
だけど全ての言葉をまた飲み干して 君から目をそらした

会話が途切れて二人の時間が彷徨うたび
きまって君は彼の 話ばかりを繰り返す

君のことはどんな事でも 知りたいはずなのに
言葉をさえぎるためだけに 煙草に火をつけた

君のグラスは 他の誰かで満たされてる
このバーボンとカシスソーダを飲み干したら
君は 君は 彼の胸に戻るの?

鍵をかけて (I miss you) 終電を越えて (even if) 
君がこの店から帰れないように (I'm with you, baby)
今はただ独りよがりだけど 本当の気持ちなんだ
君もいっそ (I want you) 酔ってしまえばいい (even if) 
そして彼のことを忘れちゃえばいい (love somebody else)
だけど残りのバーボンを いま飲み干して 時計の針を気にした

そりゃかなり酔っ払っているけど 
その責任は君なんだから
鍵をかけて 終電を越えて 時間を止めて
