🎼 Lyrics – Last Coin in the Jukebox

Verse 1
The cups are empty on the table,
someone stacked them by the sink.
You’re checking your coat pockets,
like you’ve forgotten something.

You straighten up your shoulders,
say you should probably go.
I nod like I agree with you,
though we both already know.

Pre-Chorus
No scene worth remembering,
no line we’ll quote again.

Chorus
I put the last coin in the jukebox,
picked a song we didn’t plan.
It plays the way it always does,
never asking who I am.
If this is where it settles,
no drama to provoke us,
I’ll stay until it finishes —
the last coin in the jukebox.

Verse 2
Someone laughs across the room,
it doesn’t mean a thing.
The floor gets swept around our feet,
like we were never in between.

You say, “It wasn’t wasted time,”
and I believe you mean it.
Some things don’t need a second chance
to prove they really happened.

Pre-Chorus
No rewinding what feels done,
no fixing what was fine.

Chorus
I put the last coin in the jukebox,
heard it start without a sign.
Every word we didn’t need
fits between the lines just fine.
You don’t wait around to hear it,
you already know the focus.
I stay behind with what we were —
the last coin in the jukebox.

Bridge
Some love doesn’t fall apart,
it simply stops moving on.
It leaves you standing where you are,
not broken — just alone.

Final Chorus
I put the last coin in the jukebox,
let it play itself through.
Not to change what’s already gone,
just to finish something true.
When the song reaches its ending
and there’s nothing left to focus,
I’ll walk out knowing what we were —
the last coin in the jukebox.

Outro
That was enough.
