I really can't stay
I've got to go away
This evening has been
So very nice
I hate to admit it but I've been feeling a little bit smitten
Since the beginning when we were kicking it strictly on Hinge messaging
Is it destiny? Were we meant to be binging Netflix in
Your living room, in the mood, you sitting next to me
Did we move too quickly or could it be instant chemistry?
I'm second guessing me crazy, making me hesitate
The things that I'm thinking I shouldn't be saying on second dates
Whatever mate, it's getting late, I'd hate to impose
So let me make a motion to go and take all my clothes
Off the clothing rack, so distracted by the scent of aftershave
They say, women overly forward could scare a man away
Well that's a shame, these expectations get so senseless
I can't express affection lest I have it read as desperate?
Well that's okay, I'll have to wait for a later date
For now it's anime and eating cake from a paper plate
I'm checking Google Maps, for the path I should take and GREAT
The 7's under maintenance and I can't even take the train
You really can't stay
Although I want to
There's expectations sending me messages saying not to
You've got to go away
I guess I got to
But home is not exactly a place that I can walk to
This evening has been
So frickin' excellent
I better head to bed lest I let him in on my sentiments
So very nice
My next move should be evident
But still I'm feeling hesitant
Well, it's hard to tell, I'd say that I should tell her to stay
But in a way it'd kinda violate the terms of the date
Nate, sure, it's late, and snowing and it's cold as a witch's tit
A witch's breast. Which is best? the question is intricate.
If I tell her to stay, I may fulfill the role of gentleman
But what the hell's a gentleman? an antiquated specimen
That's built within in a system I was born in but am better than
Should I tell her to get in an uber and go or let her into bed again?
If I tell her she should stay then she may think I'm trying to hit it
If I did then I'd enjoy it, but the point is that it isn't
What the point is, cuz it's colder than the void is, so the choice is
Do I tell her she should stay or do I wait for her to voice it?
There's no devil on my shoulder, tho no angel on the other
Just a general indecision whether we should share the covers
And we care for one another, but I wonder what her preference is
It's cold, and I'm too stoned, and kinda horny, and a feminist
She really can't stay
And you don't have to
I'll be the last dude to tell you what you can and can't do
She's got to go away
Okay, so go then,
But if you change your mind, it's fine, the offer is open
This evening has been
Good but ambiguous
I dig the way it's going but don't know if she's into it
So very nice
Let's go nice and slow
I don't know what comes next, all I know is it's cold
Well I gotta work at eight in the morning, I'm drowsy
And I don't want my roommates to be worried about me
Word, the matter is cloudy, it's kinda like the weather is
I'll try to read the signs as to what her intention is
The question is what do I want for myself
I could get some sleep or I could totally cuddle as well
Hell — I could stay in my shell until Hell freezes over
So I may as well just ask her if she wants to get closer
Yo Lex it's 12 o'clock, and 12 below. So whatcha thinking?
I'm thinking I like the taste of this beverage I'm drinking
What's in it?
It's Kombucha, with an extract of ginseng
I found it on allrecipes.
Damn, I didn't know what I was missing
But the main thing I was asking — to say what I mean, actually
Is as to whether you're happy to be here, or do you have some place you have to be?
Practically it'd be better if I left, but that's just me
Acting responsibly but honestly I'd really rather be
Inside
Well here we are
Well here we are
It's warm inside
You know you could stay
But I don't have to
Or I could call you a ride
It's up to you
I know it is
I know you know
I know you know I know
And so?
So what?
It's cold.
No duh.
You tired?
No, tired of deciding this though
So let's address the elephant
The elephant?
To hell with it
I'll tell you it: I think you're swell
You're swell as well
I'm swell? Oh shit
It's best to be direct with your intentions
And to state what's best for you.
On count of three then: 1-2-3
You want to stay?
I want to stay
Yeah
I really can't stay
I've got to go away
This evening has been
So very nice
