  • It'll be a Wednesday
    And I'll be going in 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 (hmm-mmm)

    Arguments in your garage
    All the ways we sabotaged it (hmm-mmm)
    What it was and what it wasn't

    We've been swimming on the edge of a cliff
    I'm resistant, but going 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 thinking about how different we are
    From those scared little kids that had those (hmm-mmm)

    Arguments in your garage
    All the ways we sabotaged it (hmm-mmm)
    What it was and what it wasn't

    We've been swimming on the edge of a cliff
    I'm resistant, but going 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

    Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, ha
    Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, ha
    Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, ha
    Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, ha

    We've been swimming on the edge of a cliff
    I'm resistant, but going 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 Writer/s: Jonathan Percy S. Saxe, Julia Carin Cavazos, Leroy James Clampitt, Sabrina Annlynn Carpenter
