Can't you see, I'm intrigued by the way that you speak
The words come out like pinball machines
You're clever with your metaphors, burn me with your wit
Bet, you think the pain you feel is hidden by your grit
I'm sure you've made a few mistakes
Which anyone was bound to make
But you're not to blame, it's part of the game
I just wanna know your name, so
I don't care if we just met
I'll kiss you, no regret
I've played it safe one too many times before
Why look up to the sky
When all the stars are in your eye?
No typical Thursday night
All the states look the same, passing by on the train
The faces of a losing campaign
But I don't wanna be the one who crashes all their dreams
And I don't wanna be the one who says all of those things
I'm sure you've heard this one before
Hand gets shut between the door
But you're not to blame, it's part of the game
I just wanna know your name, so
I don't care if we just met
I'll kiss you, no regret
I've played it safe one too many times before
Why look up to the sky
When all the stars are in your eye?
We're searching for reasons why
Those things we never said
Those things we never did
They'll come right back to haunt you
One chance you'll never undo
Why stop to watch the time
When our last chance is flying by?
No typical Thursday night
