Party Ethic

It started as flirtation
Just a friend of a friend
Had some pleasant conversation
Don't remember what we said

Months later in the basement
When we watched a couple bands
I laughed in your face when
Thought I didn't want to hold your hand and you said

Do you want me to stay?
Do you want me to stay?
Do you want me to stay another night?
Live another life?
Try another time as long as it feels right?

Now I'm in your backyard
Where I'll try to pretend
That you don't live so far
Hold my words instead of what I'd say

'Cause I wanted to stay
Yeah, I wanted to stay
That won't make it okay
I wanted to stay another night
Live another life
Try another time
Something doesn't feel right
Something doesn't feel right
