It'll be a Wednesday and I'll be going to this coffee shop
Hear the barista call an oat milk latte and your name
And I look up from my phone and think there's no chance it's you, but it is
You'll say, "Hi", I'll say, "Hi, how are you?"
You'll say, "How's your family, how's your sister?"
I'll say, "Shannon's being Shannon"
And after a minute of nonsensical chatter
You'll say, "Well, this was really nice
Maybe we should do this on purpose sometime"
And it'll have been long enough, that we won't harp on
Arguments in your garage
All the ways we sabotaged it
What it was and what it wasn't
We've been swimming on the edge of a cliff
I'm resistant, but goin' down with the ship
It'd be so nice, right? Right?
If we could take it all off and just exist
And skinny dip in water under the bridge
You'll suggest a restaurant we used to go to
And I'll say, "Won't that be too nostalgic?"
And you'll say, "Maybe, but let's do it anyway
We won't sit at our same old table, I promise"
And we won't bring up the past, we'll keep it bureaucratic
And we won't say it but both of us
We'll be thinking about how different we are
From those scared little kids that had those
Arguments in your garage
All the ways we sabotaged it
What it was and what it wasn't
We've been swimming on the edge of a cliff
I'm resistant, but goin' down with the ship
It'd be so nice, right? Right?
If we could take it all off and just exist
And skinny dip in water under the bridge
We've been swimming on the edge of a cliff
I'm resistant, but goin' down with the ship
It'd be so nice, right? Right?
If we could take it all off and just exist
And skinny dip in water under the bridge
