I was sitting on the couch Ripping dead skin off my nails You were on the balcony With a cigarette, sitting still I went into the kitchen To turn off the oven Dinner was burnt And it was all ruined It was supposed to be a nice night It was supposed to be a nice night I didn't mean to speak that way You know I never learned to articulate The air is stifling in here Let's go out Go out for a beer You were cracking your knuckles I told you to stop "You know I do this when I'm upset" And now you're even more upset But the truth is I didn't mind No I really didn't mind I didn't mean to speak that way You know I never learned to articulate The air is stifling in here Let's go out Go out for a beer I'm swallowed by pride Let's put it aside Yes for just one night Yes for just one night I didn't mean to speak that way I never learned to articulate The air is stifling in here Let's go out Go out for a beer
