By The Way

Darling I
I think I've had a little too much to drink at the bar
I think I've had a little too much to drink and I might not make it to my bed
So maybe I should sleep with you instead
Might not make it to my bed
Oh maybe I should sleep with you instead

Don't explain
I can tell by how you answer that it's over now
And I can tell by how you answer that we might not make it through the bend
We didn't so much as speak towards the end
We didn't so much as speak towards the end

Darling did
Did you mean to turn me on or did you mean to try
And did you mean to make me wonder if I might consider you a friend
If you should be another one's instead
Might consider you a friend
If you should be another one's instead


Nothing Personal

Somehow during our embrace
I could not help noticing your face
Had a stiffness to
The edges of your mouth

Still a puzzle in the air
Was that confirmation in your stare
I've been constrained by my actions in the past

Does your breathing indicate
A desire
Or'd you hesitate
This is what we get when we talk about it first

Unexpected it may be
Was a nice trick how your misplaced keys
Managed to turn up when you had to go


(Cheers and Applause)

Not quite sure what I should say
Thanks for the drink anyway
And up against you in the living room
I forget to say what I wanted to

Dark blue skirt upon my bed
Your arms spaced all around my head
I wanna talk about this when we wake
It was almost better when it was fake.

Casually mention your place
As something plays across your face
But I was never good at the advice
It's not subtle when you ask it twice

Give it so more time to set
Do I feel attractive yet
I got bored waiting in the parking lot
I'm backing out the same old spot.
