I only went in to get wellington boots
'Cause a friend had insisted on going
Camping in the Lake District for his stag do
Never really been the type of guy to kill time in a sports retailer
I saw the World Cup final and I played a bit of netball as a teenager
But all the ski-boots, bikes
Dumbbells got me feeling a bit out of my depth
Then I saw you and you took away my breath
Well this feeling's new to me
Never thought I'd be
So enamoured with a store employee so outdoorsy
But this is more than a crush, now
I think I'm in love with the girl
Who works on checkout six in Decathlon
Haven't known her that long
But all I hear is birdsong
When I see that girl on checkout six in Decathlon
Yes, I've fallen headlong
Chemistry? We had none
But it's early days, we only met for 40 seconds
You complemented me on my unusually small feet
"You know these are from the childrens section, right?"
When our fingers touched very briefly as you handed me the receipt
You can't deny the electricity
I know we've probably got nothing in common
You clearly like the great outdoors, and I'm allergic to pollen
She's got a tan, I've got anaemia
She looks like she spends her winters skiing, I've never been, yeah
Bet she rides a bike to work, I work home in PJs
She got a Fitbit, I've just got this watch off eBay
So we don't share the same aesthetic
Maybe you're looking for a boy who's unathletic
You can teach me snowboarding
I'll play you all my recordings
Show me how to be sporty
I'll show you how to play the organ
We'll both find it so rewarding
Having pancakes every morning
And then you'll go and start your shift in Decathlon
Got these feelings so strong
All I hear is birdsong
When I see that girl on checkout six in Decathlon
So glad I didn't stay home
Could have got these boots from Amazon
But if I had done I'd have never even met you
Dreaming of the next time we can be together
(We can be together)
Gonna have to pop back in and browse
The badminton accessories or golf sweaters
(Until I catch your eye)
Gazing at you from the table-tennis section
(Table-tennis section)
Actually I've just watched that series, 'YOU'
On Netflix and on reflection
Maybe this song's a bit much? Actually, I dunno
Is it, is it maybe a bit creepy? Yeah
