| He was IT, she worked in accounting
|
| His cubicle was down the hall
|
| Sometimes they ran into each other
|
| At the water cooler or the elevator
|
| He knew she blogged on cinema verite
|
| She knew he had a rescue dog
|
| He knew she liked the time before sunrise
|
| For 8 weeks that’s as far as they got
|
| Til he summoned the guts and worked up the courage
|
| And invited her out on a date
|
| And while she liked him a lot it was totally awkward
|
| But they made arrangements for saturday
|
| But his subway got stuck and she was about to leave the cafe
|
| It was a total disaster, it was a perfect date
|
| Well by this time his flowers were wilted
|
| And they bumped noses when they tried to hug
|
| He spilled his wine all over the waitress
|
| And a second time when he filled her cup
|
| After the meal they went to the movies
|
| The film had been widely discussed
|
| But there were a lot more sex scenes than one would have thought
|
| Thank god it was dark cause they both blushed
|
| And fiddled with their popcorn and waited for the credits to wane
|
| It was a total disaster, it was a perfect date
|
| After the film they walked down the river
|
| He got shy cause he liked her
|
| Went for a punch line and poorly delivered
|
| He knew the joke but he lost his nerve
|
| She kicked herself when she couldnt stop talking
|
| About the meaning of meaninglessness
|
| He nodded yes although she had lost him
|
| Stepped on her foot as he gave her a kiss
|
| And maybe they werent a vision of grace
|
| But there was something between them that showed
|
| And if you’d seen them that day, you would have picked up
|
| On the inception of love and you would have known
|
| That they couldnt mess it up cause it plainly was the work of fate
|
| It was a total disaster, it was a perfect date
|
| And maybe her cardigan didnt get the memo that the eighties had been over for a
|
| while maybe he fell a little short of cassanova but he paid her compliments and
|
| made her smile like two pieces of a puzzle put together from above
|
| There’s no earthly way to judge when it comes to the mystery of love |
