Adult Diversion Lyrics
[Verse 1]
How do I get close to you?
Even if you don't notice
As I admire you on the subway
When it's dark outside your house
You won't let anybody out
And keep a padlock on the door, well
[Pre-Chorus]
One more cocktail
And I'm on your trail
[Chorus]
If I should fall
Act as though it never happened
I will retreat
And sit inside so very quietly
[Verse 2]
How do I grow old with you?
Even if you don't notice
As I pass by you on the sidewalk
When it's dark outside your house
You won't let anybody out
You're keeping a dead girl in the closet
[Pre-Chorus]
One more cocktail
Is it a good time?
Or is it highly inappropriate?
[Chorus]
If I should fall
Act as though it never happened
I will retreat
And then go back to university
If I should fall
Act as though it never happened
I will retreat
And sit inside so very quietly
[Bridge]
I won't waste a (Moment)
I won't waste a—
I won't waste a—
[Chorus]
If I should fall
Act as though it never happened
I will retreat
And sit inside so very quietly
If I should fall
Act as though it never happened
I will retreat
And then go back to university

I was working at a smoothie hut for a while in Toronto. Only one or two people would come in during the day and usually only to use the washroom. That song spawned out of admiration from afar and spending a large chunk of time alone.
The premise of the song was having an unhealthy fixation on someo...
