  • Everyone's got a maze inside their heart
    The best we can do is pick a place to start
    Meet me in the lounge of the St. Regis at 5
    I'll be sitting by the window, wearing white

    I already told you
    I'm not gonna make the same mistakes
    Over and over
    You can be mad if you want
    I did a shot 'cause I'm terrified

    I'm asking you
    Tell me, why do we keep dicking around?
    Waited such a long time to be with you
    Now I'm chickening out
    I've got so much to say
    Somehow it's never the right thing
    I meant to be sober
    But the bar's so inviting

    People are laughing and having fun
    Leaning back and relaxing, now the day is done
    I know exactly what you must think of me
    But baby, I've never been so glad to see somebody

    I already told you
    It was love at first sight
    And that's a frightening notion
    I'll hold the light
    And you can read me what we owe

    Come on, let's go
    Tell me, why do we keep dicking around?
    Waited such a long time to be with you
    Now I'm chickening out
    I've got so much to say
    Somehow it's never the right thing
    I meant to be sober
    But the bar's so inviting

    Why do we keep dicking around?
    Waited such a long time to be with you
    And here you are now
    I am soberish and I can't make a sound
    But I will open my arms up (open, open my arms)
    And wrap them around you
    I will open my arms up (open, open my arms)
    And wrap them around you Writer/s: Liz Phair
