Chinese Restaurant

Lyrics

[Verse 1]: I wish I was your comfort I'd build you a nest, you'd be my bluebird I'd shut out the world that don't deserve you And I'd make you a home [Verse 2]: If I was your journal You could tell me everything you yearn for I'd be the fragile pages that you turn to When you feel alone [Chorus]: Oh, I only saw you once In a Chinese restaurant You had your hoodie up Beer in a Styrofoam cup I didn't have the guts to talk you up Oh, I only saw you once In a Chinese restaurant [Verse 3]: I could be your boyfriend Your confidant, your lover and your best friend The hole in the fence at the dead end Somebody you could get into debt with Come here [Chorus]: Oh, I only saw you once In a Chinese restaurant You had your hoodie up Beer in a Styrofoam cup I didn't have the guts to talk you up Oh, I only saw you once In a Chinese restaurant I swear that we locked eyes Under the fluorescent lights I didn't have the guts to talk you up [Bridge]: I only saw you once, somehow I know I'm right for you I only saw you once so tell me why I'd die for you And all these other girls I see them 'round but they won't do Tell me where are you now, where are you now, oh, oh [Chorus]: Oh, I only saw you once In a Chinese restaurant You had your hoodie up Beer in a Styrofoam cup I didn't have the guts to talk you up Oh, I only saw you once In a Chinese restaurant I swear that we locked eyes Under the fluorescent lights I didn't have the guts to talk you up [Outro]: Wish I was your comfort I'd build you a nest, you'd be my bluebird I'd shut out the world that don't deserve you And I'd make you a home
