When you called last night I had a million thoughts Racing around my head Even though I shouldn't have gone I dropped everything at hand My husband had the flu So I told him a fib Acted calm Tried not to dress too well Not to raise suspicion The drive to the truck stop Took half and hour If even that When I pulled in the parking lot I wondered where I'd find you But I saw you in your car before I even finished that thought I pulled up and turned off the motor Gathered my things together Before I even looked over Stepped out of the car Asked if you like to go inside Theres a restaurant around back Walked straight past the tables Found an empty booth in the back Sat down Ordered coffee and warm apple pie You didn't want anything So I ordered you a mt dew And you changed it to a pepsi Then I looked at you Looked you over New hat, new hooded sweatshirt You didn't have much to say Sat sideways in the booth Leaned up against the wall For support Mostly small talk While I drank umpteenth # cups Coffee creamer sugar Till my stomach turned You still hadn't really looked up Till I ran out of things to say Then your eyes didn't wave I sad you were making me squirm I avoided looking back For more than a minute Because I see too much in your eyes And I wonder what they see too Your eyes soften All gaurds are down It reminds me of that look That said " I love you" Before you used to be able to say it That's when your eyes turn away They begin to hold back Your mouth frowns When you try to talk And youre so beautiful I want to hold you Then we're quiet And I think its getting late So you follow me into the store And wait while I'm in the bathroom we go outside Stand between our cars Then the real conversation begins About nothing, and cars And have a safe trip Don't get stoned, drive drunk Or run off the road I ask for a hug You look at me weird So I ask for a handshake Even though I'm not very good at those So you hold our your hand Do a shake and fist bump Pull me in for a hug I do that stupid Back pat-pat without realizing it And - Release My ear was cold you said Oh, it was numb Bye, see you later And your gone |
