Jonathan Coulton
Drinking With You
[Verse 1]
We work late and I pretend that
I don't notice when you're next to me
But I do
I might be mistaken but I sometimes get the feeling
That you notice too

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know this place that's near here
Quiet dark and small
When we're finished here
I think that I may want a beer
How bout you?

[Chorus]
It'd be nice to go out drinking with you

[Verse 2]
You would think that we've danced around each other
Long enough to know
Where to stand
But my heart stops in a panic
When I think how it would feel to finally hold your hand

[Pre-Chorus]
So we wait for this to happen
Or make it happen now
Either way I think
That we should start off with a drink
Maybe two
[Chorus]
It'd be nice to go out drinking with you

[Verse 3]
No big deal
We can play it nice and cool and keep the pressure off
Invite our friends
We'll have a few too many
We'll discreetly share a cab home when the evening ends

[Pre-Chorus]
When we reach that awkward moment
Standing at your door
We won't even know cause we'll just smile and let it go
Sail on through

[Chorus]
It'd be nice to go out drinking with you
