skinny dipping

It'll be a Wednesday

And I'll be going to this coffee shop

Hear the barista call an oat milk latte and your name

And I look up from my phone

And think there's no chance it's you, but it is

You'll say, "Hi"

I'll say, "Hi, how are you?"

You'll say, "How's your family? How's your sister?"

I'll say, "Shannon's being Shannon"

After a minute of nonsensical chatter, you'll say

"Well, this was really nice

Maybe we should do this on purpose sometime"

And it'll have been long enough

That we won't harp on

Arguments in your garage

All the ways we sabotaged it

What it was and what it wasn't

We've been swimmin' on the edge of a cliff

I'm resistant, but goin' down with the ship

It'd be so nice, right? Right?

If we could take it all off and just exist

And skinny dip in water under the bridge

You'll suggest a restaurant we used to go to

And I'll say, "Won't that be too nostalgic?"

And you'll say, "Maybe, but let's do it anyway

We won't sit at our same old table, I promise"

And we won't bring up the past, we'll keep it bureaucratic

And we won't say it, but both of us

We'll be thinkin' about how different we are

From those scared little kids that had those

Arguments in your garage

All the ways we sabotaged it

What it was and what it wasn't

We've been swimmin' on the edge of a cliff

I'm resistant, but goin' down with the ship

It'd be so nice, right? Right?

If we could take it all off and just exist

And skinny dip in water under the bridge

We've been swimmin' on the edge of a cliff

I'm resistant, but goin' down with the ship

It'd be so nice, right? Right?

If we could take it all off and just exist

And skinny dip in water under the bridge
