Taxis on Canal

You pulled up in the rain

With a paper cup and a grin

Said, “ girl, you always late”

But you still let me in

Your keys on the tray

Your jacket on my chair

I watched your phone light up

You didn’t even care

Now my heart gets loud

When you say my name

One small touch

And I lose my shape

I don’t need much

Just that look again

You spin me round

And I’m back in it

Taxi on Canal, take me there

Taxi on Canal, I don’t care

Roll that window down

Let it hit my face

Taxi on Canal, take me there

Taxi on Canal, say my name

Taxi on Canal, I’m not safe

One more red light

One more chance

Taxi on Canal, take me there

Late-night fries in a box

On the stair by the door

You said “ I should go”

Then you came back for more

My laugh got caught

In your hoodie sleeve

I left my guard in the cab

You kept the receipt

Now my heart gets loud

When you say my name

One small touch

And I lose my shape

I don’t need much

Just that look again

You spin me round

And I’m back in it

Taxi on Canal, take me there

Taxi on Canal, I don’t care

Roll that window down

Let it hit my face

Taxi on Canal, take me there

Taxi on Canal, say my name

Taxi on Canal, I’m not safe

One more red light

One more chance

Taxi on Canal, take me there

If you leave, don’t lie

Just say it plain

If you stay, baby

Do it again

I like the way

You make me brave

Take the long way home

Don’t make me wait

Taxi on Canal, take me there

Taxi on Canal, I don’t care

Roll that window down

Let it hit my face

Taxi on Canal, take me there

Taxi on Canal, say my name

Taxi on Canal, I’m not safe

One more red light

One more chance

Taxi on Canal, take me there
