inflation Lyrics

Pretty eyes a smile that cuts through a room

Forgot to breath but I'll just blame it on you

You said hello

And I said hi

Sort of stuttered when you caught me in your stare

Trying to say something nice about your hair

I'm all choked up

And you're right there

And I could try to pretend

To have a handle on the situation

Can't afford to buy you coffee

So blame my silence on inflation

And maybe someday down the road

I'll read enough books to know what I had never been told

That girls like you don't ever really come along

Well he was quicker and he learned to use his words

He stole your heart while I was still writing this verse

So I'll sing a song

That you won't hear

And I could try to pretend

To have a handle on the situation

Can't afford to buy you coffee

So blame my silence on inflation

And maybe someday down the road

I'll read enough books to know what I had never been told

That girls like you don't ever really come along

Oh

Maybe someday when I pass you on the street

I'll be brave enough to let our eyes meet

I'll say hello

And you'll say hi

Maybe we'll sit around and talk for a while

Say something funny

It'll even make you smile

And then we'll go our separate ways

And I could try to pretend

To have a handle on the situation

Can't afford to buy you coffee

So blame my silence on inflation

And maybe some day down the road

I'll read enough books to know what I had never been told

That girls like you don't ever really come along
