Lyrics
We went down to Dino's
We visited Dino's
Air was thick as honey
The air was dense, creating a mellow atmosphere
You were looking just as sweet
You looked charming
Heard of places nicer
Heard of nicer places
Didn't have the money
Lacked the money to go to those places
But at least we could escape the heat
We could escape the heat, despite financial constraints
Waited for our number
Waited for our turn
You drank a mimosa
You drank a mimosa from a plastic cup
Out of a plastic cup
As you sat there drinking
You, sitting and drinking
You bet I was thinking
I wondered about the night's outcome
Where will this night end up
Speculation about where the night will lead
And there was a waitress on the telephone
Waitress on the telephone
There was a method actor drunk
Method actor intoxicated
A kid with a fake ID and confidence
Kid with fake ID and confidence
And then there was us
We, contrasting with the others
Being without you seems a tragedy
Being without you feels like a tragedy
I don't have words to give you now
Lack words to express at the moment
I want to have our own vernacular
Desire to create a unique way of communication
All of the things I would say but I don't know how
Things I want to say but unsure how
Leant across the table
Leaned across the table, seeking closeness
Wanted to get closer
Trying to understand your signals
I was trying to take your cues
Suggested karaoke, but you had dancing shoes
I suggested that we go to karaoke
But you'd bought your dancing shoes
Greatest hits on the stereo
There was a greatest hits on the stereo
Nun drinking her doubt
There was a nun drinking her doubt
Youth making promises to a Dolly Parton cutout
There was a young boy making promises
To a Dolly Parton cardboard cutout
-Being without you seems a tragedy
Being without you feels like a tragedy
I don't have words to give you now
Lack words to express at the moment
I want to have our own vernacular
Desire to create a unique way of communication
All of the things I would say but I don't know how
Things I want to say but unsure how
Tell you I'm lost unless I look at you
Expressing being lost without looking at you
Have you the most that time allows
You have the most time allows
Because without you I lose sanity
Without you, sanity is lost
All of the things I would say but I don't know how
Things I want to say but unsure how
Being without you seems a tragedy
Being without you feels like a tragedy
I don't have words to give you now
Lack words to express at the moment
I want to have our own vernacular
Desire to create a unique way of communication
All of the things I would say but I don't know
Things I want to say but unsure how
All of the things I would say but I don't know
-All of the things I would say but I don't know how
