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"
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 dipping
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 will 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 dipping
water under the bridge
Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha
Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha
Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha
Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha
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 dipping
water under the bridge
