She takes out a notebook
In it are the names of everyone who's ever done her wrong
She crosses one name out and adds another three
I lean over her shoulder, to see if she's got it in for me
It's just out of reach
She orders a G&T
When it arrives she throws it my way and gets herself a double single malt whiskey
Well I'm more than a little intimidated
But I try to keep my cool
Have you ever seen New York City in the winter
In must be like looking into a mirror
I still have no idea what I meant
Can you tell me something?
How am I doing?
Is my wit and charm enough to win you over?
What is your favourite film?
I'm not surprised when you say you don't own a TV
But you once went to a private screening of Annie Hall
You've got every trait I miss from a previous love
Along with all of their flaws
Oh baby please let me be yours
I know that you'll leave as soon as you get bored in a few weeks
I've been known to drink too much
Been told that I roll my eyes when I feel the need to learn you something
I'm trying to be the best version of myself
As we exchange stories from our youth
We both choose to dilute the truth
Each trying not to let the other one through
Why don't we give it a go?
It's not like we've got anything to lose
Can you tell me something?
How are you doing?
Is the loneliness enough to see this through?
Can you tell me something?
What the hell are we doing?
We kiss goodbye only to be polite and then it's over
Later on when I'm at home
Staring at the ceiling wondering if I will die alone
Without thinking I tap some lies into my phone
I hope you got home alright
I had a really good time
Maybe we should do it again
Some other night
