My shitty job said they didn't want me to take
Any more time off before christmas break
We've got a show next week, I guess I'll stay
We've met before on the floor, and we've passed in the hall
I'd seen you from a far, I've never made the call
Somebody's cigarettes had stained your bedroom wall
And I know that It's a longshot, probably a mistake
My bags are packed and the tickets already paid
I never made the flight and so that was the day
I almost never met you
So I don't wanna think about what I'd miss out on if I never met you
I don't wanna think about the time I'm wasting here alone, and you said
We've got a few things in common and I think you should stay
A whole lotta self loathing and a little decay
I'll call the bomb threat in, you better not be late
We've met before on the floor, but I'm not really sure
How many times we passed, how many years before
A couple weeks from now, you're gonna change it all
And I know that It's a longshot, probably a mistake
Another week away, another interstate
Another stupid line to get me through the day
In case I never meet you
So I don't wanna think about what I'd miss out on if I never met you
I don't wanna think about the time I'm wasting here alone, and you said
We've got a few things in common and I think you should stay
A whole lotta self loathing and a little decay
I'll call the bomb threat in, you better not be late
So I don't wanna think about what I'd miss out on if I never met you
I don't wanna think about the time I'm wasting here alone, and you said
I don't wanna think about what I'd miss out on if I never met you
I don't wanna think about the time I'm wasting here alone, and you said
We've got a few things in common and I think you should stay
A whole lotta self loathing and a little decay
I'll call the bomb threat in, you better not be late
Another stupid line to get me through the day
I almost never met you
