The Slowdance

I walked home, you drove off.

you probably slept more than i did.

the monkey wrench inside my chest

told me not to run.

from a stranger to a stranger:

"why don't we talk a while?

I've got nothing to lose

but the chance to make you smile."

just be calm, just be cool,

and i won't make any sudden moves.

and while you wait

I'll try to say a joke or two you haven't heard.

from a stranger to a stranger:

"we both could do much worse.

so i hope that one of these nights

you'll use that number in your purse

cuz lonliness is who i know.

perhaps he's someone you know,

a mutual friend of ours."

I'm a nerd, you're a queen.

so how about a date?

i didn't know you saw the show.

i thought i saw you leave.

from a stranger to a stranger:

"I could use a ride back home."

I could point out the stars

and we won't have to sleep alone, alone.

this lonliness is who i know.

perhaps he's someone you know.

there's a million words

that i've been saving for a rainy day,

and a million tricks that i could use,

and i'd use them all at once

if that's what i have to do.

i'll find a way to make you stay,

at least until i find another reason, anyway.

i haven't felt this way

since my first day of school.

it's a wish for me to make history with you, with you.

there's a million words

i've been saving for a rainy day,

and a million tricks that i could use,

and i'd juse them all at once

if that's what i have to do.

i'd find a way to make you stay,

least till i find another reason, anyway.

until i find another reason. (2x)

i'd find a way to make you stay

until i find another reason.
