Conventioneers
Senior Citizens in Love: A Dance of Hopelessness and Laughter
Lyrics
You walked into the room
You entered the room
And the whole place stopped to notice
The entire place stopped to notice your presence
Standing next to you, I feel hopeless and you know this
Being next to you makes me feel helpless, and you are aware of it
I've never been ashamed of my attraction
I've never felt ashamed of my attraction to you
I'd be happy if you gave me just a fraction
I would be content with even a small portion of your attention
As we danced, I could see in your eyes
While dancing, I could sense a future where we're elderly and in love
You and me as senior citizens in love
Imagining a future together as senior citizens
I followed your perfume out away from all the rabble
I followed your scent away from the crowd
Right up to your room for a drink and travel Scrabble
We went to your room for a drink and played Scrabble
You, stationed in the warm glow of the TV
You were stationed near the TV
Too patient as I'm playing L-O-V-E
I'm playing the word "LOVE" in Scrabble, testing your patience
And we laugh, and we laugh, and we laugh
We laugh to avoid tension
And we have to or we'll end up in the bath
Laughter is necessary to prevent conflict
Now we're in the bath, I'm already thinking marriage
We're in the bath, contemplating marriage
I know that in the past it was something I'd disparage
In the past, I would have criticized the idea of marriage
You turned down all the lights, I lit the candles
You dimmed the lights, and we engaged in a romantic atmosphere
We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals
We playfully rolled around in robes and hotel sandals
Then you slept, and I dressed, and I left
You slept, I dressed, and I left
And I guess I'll see you Monday like before
I expect to see you on Monday as usual
Before all the fireworks exploded
Before the fireworks, our conversations were intense with innuendos
Our conversations were so loaded, innuendo flying
Now, it's difficult to find words
Now what can we say?
(No specific meaning provided in the lyrics)
Have a nice day
A polite farewell, expressing a wish for a nice day
Looks like rain today
Commenting on the weather, possibly symbolizing a change in the relationship
Now I'm in a cab, heading back to my apartment
Heading back to my apartment in a taxi
Everything is drab, and I wish it never started
Feeling regretful about how the situation unfolded
Now I've landed in this awkward situation
In an uncomfortable situation, contemplating how to avoid a conversation
How can I just avoid a conversation?
Waiting and arriving late would be ideal to avoid interaction
So I wait, come in late, it'd be great
Expressing a desire for the person to transfer out of state
If you transferred out of state
