Dining Alone Songtext

von Can't Wake Up

Dining Alone Songtext
Same old shoes on the same old feet
Same colored tie every day of the week
Shampoo, conditioner, instant repeat
Drip dry, do it again
I tell my woes to the knife and the spoon
Dining alone at a table for two
One glass of wine is plenty of time
To dream about all of the things that I'll never do

I wonder what it's like to fly a plane
To meet a girl on Friday night
And wake up next to her on Saturday
To swim across the ocean blue
To walk a mile upon the moon
To wear the crown and sit upon the throne
But it's getting late, this restaurant is closing
I guess I'd better go

I wander through the city, whistle a tune
Walk into a bar and ruin the mood
A dirty martini with an olive or two
Shake, pour, do it again
A couple more drinks, now they're kicking me out
I always get in trouble when I open my mouth
Stumble on home, fall into bed
And drift off into my head

I wonder what it's like to fly a plane
To meet a girl on Friday night
And wake up next to her on Saturday
To swim across the ocean blue
To walk a mile upon the moon
To wear the crown and sit upon the throne
But it's getting late, the sun is coming up
Off to work I go

Same old shoes on the same old feet
One-track mind, one-way street
Nothing's gonna change for the same old me
Eat, sleep, do it again
Eat, sleep, do it again
