Drinking with You - Jonathan Coulton

We work late and I pretend that

I don’t notice when you’re next to me

But I do

I might be mistaken but I sometimes get the feeling

That you notice too

And I know this place that’s near here

Quiet dark and small

When we’re finished here

I think that I may want a beer

How bout you?

It’d be nice to go out drinking with you

You would think that we’ve danced around each other

Long enough to know

Where to stand

But my heart stops in a panic

When I think how it would feel to finally hold your hand

So we wait for this to happen

Or make it happen now

Either way I think

That we should start off with a drink

Maybe two

It’d be nice to go out drinking with you

No big deal

We can play it nice and cool and keep the pressure off

Invite our friends

We’ll have a few too many

We’ll discreetly share a cab home when the evening ends

When we reach that awkward moment

Standing at your door

We won’t even know cause we’ll just smile and let it go

Sail on through

It’d be nice to go out drinking with you
