blind date romeo

Lyrics are symphonies without the calluses

I read an article about speed dating the other day and It got me thinking of how Technology has infiltrated itself into our most basic form of relationship, romance. This is just something that came from that.

verse 1

Sitting alone at a bar table, one eye on the door

Watching every woman, did she have an umbrella

There wasn't going to be many, outside it was sunny and 34

Pick something better next time, I told myself to tell her

verse 2

I stirred my beer with a swizzle stick, the froth had long since gone

A metaphor of my own life, flat and lifeless to the touch

The clock on the wall bore witness, down and so forlorn

The fingers moved to a beat, a measure, that never mattered much

chorus

I wait with an expectation, that this will be the one

A catalogue of brief encounters, a portfolio of no shows

This time it will be different, this time, this time, I know

So many wasted assignations, for a blind date romeo

bridge

I closed the game app on my phone, ironic, my lowest score

Deleted her bio, finished my drink, and stopped looking at the door

verse 3

I shuffled to the bar, and threw the rose down on the floor

A pint and two whiskey chasers, a lot of catching up to do

No point in staying sober, I'd been down this road before

Looked at the picture of my ex, thought of what she'd put me through

chorus

I wait with an expectation, that this will be the one

A catalogue of brief encounters, a portfolio of no shows

This time it will be different, this time, this time, I know

So many wasted assignations, for a blind date romeo
