lyrics

saw this couple yesterday
they looked like they were on their very first date
wow i wished that you looked at me like he did to her

and she would laugh this stupid laugh
and reach out grabbing on to him for life support
while his nervous leg spilt the coffee i’d just poured for her

and nothing looked wrong
not a care in the world
but the frightening truth
of getting too close
cuz one was so willing, and the other was able
and they loved as they sat the same side of the table

two weeks have gone, they’re back again
this time wearing winter clothes and matching shoes
i guess it’s kinda cute... if you’re into that sorta thing

he pulled her in and kissed her cheek
she looked around the room to spot if anyone would see
but i don’t think he noticed as she gave a quick one back to him

but somethin looked wrong
with the boy and the girl
was it frightening truth
of getting too close?
cuz one was so willing if the other was able
and she lied as they sat the same side of the table

four weeks in and 20 checks
she looked longingly into his eyes and then
silence overcame
wantin what she wouldn’t have

but he just ate his oatmeal
making some old joke that she could not resist
and then she took his hand
even though she shouldn’t have

cuz somethin looked wrong
with the boy and the girl
was it frightening truth
of getting too close?
cuz one was so willing if the other was able
and she cried as they sat the same side of the table

it’s been just under two months now
they’re back again but this time it’s more serious somehow
nobody speaks a word until i take their order

i hear him tell her she’s been gone
she nods and says you’re right i think i need to be alone
And now the bill is soaked in tears and i can’t read the signature

and now it’s all wrong
with the boy and the girl
cuz he was all in
and that threatened her world
and one isnt ready and the other is stable
so they died as they sat the same side of the table
