[Verse 1]
Corner café
steam on the glass
Laptop open
time moving fast
You slide in late
tie half undone
Borrow my fries
like you’re the only one

[Chorus]
This is our lunch break swing
forty-five minutes of everything
Sip that soup
let the phone just ring
We’ve got salt, pepper, sugar, and you
in this lunch break swing

[Verse 2]
Shared newspaper
crumbs on your sleeve
You tell a story
I don’t want to leave
Your laugh too loud
for a Tuesday crowd
I hum along
to the quiet around

[Chorus]
This is our lunch break swing
forty-five minutes of everything
Sip that soup
let the phone just ring
We’ve got salt, pepper, sugar, and you
in this lunch break swing
