"Midnight Chess Club" lyrics

University corridors and all the things we aren't now
Supposed to be growing up
But I fade into the background
I met you in the library at 3 o'clock
And she said I got plans with Jennifer
But it's ok I'll see you on the weekend sometime

So I sit alone and wait
And wait for the call but it doesn't come and
I'll just got out with my friends
And drink some rum and have some wild times but
Really all I'm thinking is

We should start a midnight chess club
Up on a rooftop in Williamsburg
Play until the sun comes up
No one needs to know it's just us
Conversation hits like a drug
And I can't look away look away
Like check mate

Been dancing around this thing for months
Thought hey what's she doing with a guy like that
She could be with a guy like me
But who knows maybe it's not meant to be
Can't stop thinking about your face
And how you look so beautiful
Even in black and white
Maybe there's a chance for a guy like me I said

We should start a midnight chess club
Up on a rooftop in Williamsburg
Play until the sun comes up
No one needs to know it's just us
Conversation hits like a drug
And I can't look away look away
Like check mate

Start to spin like Marilyn
And I'm falling in love
You're the queen of everything
At the midnight chess club

Midnight chess club
Midnight chess club

Supposed to be growing up
But I fade into the background

We should start a midnight chess club
Up on a rooftop in Williamsburg
Play until the sun comes up
No one needs to know it's just us
Conversation hits like a drug
And I can't look away look away
Like check mate

Midnight chess club
Falling in love
Midnight chess club
Midnight chess club

Midnight chess club
Falling in love
Midnight chess club
Midnight chess club
