If We're Gonna Do This
So if we're gonna do this
Let's do this for good
There's a way we want to do it
And then there's the way we should
If we keep holding out
We're gonna keep holding on
Trying to keep something going
Just gonna make it gone
So I'll keep stirring up my coffee
And not stare you in the face
And when the waitress comes over
Small talk about this place
So if we're gonna do this
If we're gonna sleep alone
No surprise notes on the windshield
No late night texts on the phone
My friend Devin in Chicago
Dated a girl for a year
And when they split up
She said, 'your ex was always here'
And he said, 'I don't get it,'
And she said, 'Yes you do,'
Devin finally got it
And I think I get it to
Waitress lays the bill down
We agree to split it up
You go to front to pay it
Busboy takes my empty cup
Put on my coat and snow hat
Walk you over to your car
We hug and then you drive off
So we did this after all.
