I Would’ve Been Fine Staying Home Tonight
I would've been fine staying home tonight
But, miracle of miracles, you gave me your number the other day
Now we're sitting here in this small café
Miracle of miracles you're smiling at me in the candlelight

Please don't say you've got a fiancé
Or a boyfriend waiting at home
Please don't say you've got a kid on the way
Or that you're doing a semester in Rome

Because I would've been fine staying home tonight
But, miracle of miracles, now you're throwing your head back in a laugh

Please don't say you blew your parents away
Or that you've come from a violent home
Please don't say there'll ever come a day
When they discover your ex-lover's bones

Because I would've been fine staying home tonight
But, miracle of miracles, you're touching your napkin to your mouth

Now we're stepping out having closed the place
Miracle of miracles you're turning toward me with something to say
You 're taking a break to get over someone else
You're still not ready to date. You're taking some time to yourself
I don't know what to say as you walk away
I'm standing on the sidewalk surprised
I've been looking forward to this date all day
You're disappearing before my eyes

I would've been fine staying home tonight
There's no such thing as miracles here out on this dark road all alone
