lyrics

Deciding if we should hit the clurb,
You see a girl on the curb and ask her if she's alright.
She looks me in the eyes as we leave,
And then, I think, I believe she told me you made her night.
She's not wrong, and I've known it all along,
Since I heard your favorite song. And I decided to write a worse one than the first one.

And I just wanna know what makes you happy,
After an appropriate amount of time has passed.

My attention I give ya,
When I come watch you win Shrek trivia,
At a local dive I've heard about.
And I wont know what to say to you,
'Cause my life was never made for two.
So now I've got to sort all this shit out.

Noticing your words getting slurred,
But hanging on every word that's falling out of your face.
Sitting on the edge of my chair,
Not feeling weird if I stare,
This is my comfortable place.
And I'm fine. I had an awesome time, and you drift into my mind for no particular reason, but it's pleasin'

And I just want to be what makes you happy,
After an appropriate amount of time has passed.

My attention I give ya,
When I join you for Shrek trivia,
At a local dive I've not heard of.
And it doesn't matter what I say to you,
'Cause no one's life's ever made for two.
So no one will ever know I'm in love.
