headroom [01:49.01]This guy comes in [01:50.03]The first customer to close the door behind him [01:52.14]For that alone she likes him [01:53.66]He sits at the table by the window [01:55.32]Reading half smiling [01:56.71]His hair's messy and his eyes are shining [01:58.99]Can't think what to say he just stares blankly [02:01.64]Picks up his change fiddles with his spoon [02:03.80]And as he leaves the café he's consumed [02:05.75]With thoughts of her [02:06.70]Wishing that he'd got up the guts [02:08.08]To try and talk to her [02:09.67]But will it be this way forever [02:11.27]

[02:43.95]'Alright ' [02:44.27]And he tries to say something funny [02:46.10]But stutters [02:46.64]And now he feels like a muppet and blushes [02:48.43]Inside it's the usual scene [02:50.41]They're dancing at the bar waiting to get served [02:53.14]Becky's mate's screaming about something absurd [02:55.26]And they're all fake laughing [02:56.75]Even though nobody heard a word [02:58.29]So now he's hunting around the room [02:59.52]Staring into every booth [03:00.86]The back of every head could be hers It's no use [03:03.42]He stops by the bar thinking [03:04.67]Man I'll never find her [03:05.97]And then he realises that he's standing beside her [03:08.51]He stands there awkward [03:09.57]His eyes are as loud as the bass [03:11.33]And she can recognise something in his face [03:13.34]She scribbles down her number [03:14.68]Lingering glance [03:15.77]And lets herself think [03:17.10]Maybe this could be her chance [03:18.59] [03:19.12]But will it be this way forever [03:20.75] [03:21.71]These are lonely days [03:23.78]What if she could be the one that makes it better [03:26.07]He looks away can't hold her gaze [03:28.05] [03:28.89]But will it be this way forever [03:30.80] [03:31.47]These are stressful times [03:33.02] [03:33.67]What if he could be the one that gets her [03:36.02]She looks away she's petrified [03:37.77] [03:39.20]But will it be this way
