Bread for Breakfast
A Night of Romance: From Nervous Laughter to Bread for Breakfast
Lyrics
Muster courage to ask you out
Mustering courage to ask someone out.
Will you say yes I surely doubt
Expressing doubt about the likelihood of the person saying yes.
Wonder how I will get your number
Contemplating how to obtain the person's phone number.
What's this spell that you have me under
Reflecting on the captivating influence the person has on the speaker.
Take a trip with me
Inviting the person to take a journey together.
Tell me what you see
Asking the person to share their perspective.
Staying out 'til the streetlights turn on
Describing staying outside until the streetlights come on.
Getting home too late
Acknowledging returning home late.
There's no need to
Suggesting there's no need to celebrate, contrasting with the later refrain.
Celebrate eating bread for breakfast
Introducing the idea of celebrating by eating bread for breakfast.
Pinch myself because you said yes
Expressing surprise and joy that the person said yes.
To impress you I overdress
Admitting to overdressing to make a good impression.
Watch the time as the minutes pass
Observing the passage of time during the date.
Really hope that this night will last
Expressing a desire for the night to continue.
Take a trip with me
Repeating the invitation to take a trip together.
Tell me what you see
Asking again for the person's perspective.
Staying out 'til the streetlights turn on
Reiterating staying out until streetlights come on.
Getting home too late
Repeating the acknowledgment of returning home late.
There's no need to
Reiterating the notion that there's no need to celebrate.
Celebrate eating bread for breakfast
Reintroducing the concept of celebrating with bread for breakfast.
Take a trip with me
Reissuing the invitation to take a journey together.
Tell me what you see
Asking for the person's continued input.
Staying out 'til the streetlights turn on
Restating staying outside until streetlights come on.
Getting home too late
Recapping returning home late.
There's no need to
Reiterating that there's no need to celebrate.
Celebrate eating bread for breakfast
Reaffirming the celebration with bread for breakfast.
So now here we are
Noting the current situation of being together in a car.
Sitting in my car
Describing the shared experience of exchanging looks and nervous laughter.
Sharing looks and nervous laughter
Repeating the acknowledgment of returning home late.
Getting home too late
Reiterating that there's no need to celebrate.
There's no need to
Reaffirming the celebration with bread for breakfast.
