[Intro]
You said, “Be ready,” I said, “Absolutely.”
Then spent ten minutes looking for my other shoe.
[Verse 1]
You text, “I’m outside,” I’m still in a towel,
One sock on, doing panic in a one-bed flat.
Hair doing shapes like a startled seagull,
I’ve got one minute—where’s my travel card?
You look all sharp, I look freshly assembled,
Like IKEA furniture with one screw spare.
I try to play cool, say, “Traffic was mental,”
I walked from the kitchen. The traffic was there.
You laugh, I relax, now I’m back in my body,
Order two drinks, then I spill one on me.
Flirt like a pro till the waiter says, “Sorry,”
I say, “No worries,” to the wrong table, probably.
[Chorus]
You make me grin like I’ve won free chips,
I miss my train just to walk you a bit.
You steal my fries, I pretend I’m upset,
Then slide you the last one—don’t tell my mates.
Oh, you and me, what a pair, what a state,
Two big romantics who both run late.
If love’s a quiz, we’re guessing the lot,
But I like you loads—and the chips were hot.
[Verse 2]
You say, “Pick a film,” I say, “Your choice, babe,”
Then veto three titles like a tiny film snob.
You pick a drama, I ask who’s that guy,
You say, “The lead,” and I go, “Right, good job.”
We’re sharing a blanket, I steal all the duvet,
You nudge my cold feet, I act surprised.
I’m giving you space, but I’ve brought you a pastry,
It’s slightly squashed from the bus—still a prize.
Your mates ask my job, I say, “Mostly emails,”
You say, “He makes lists,” and they nod like it’s brave.
I’ve got a notes app called “Date Ideas—Final,”
With “walk by canal” and “learn how to wave.”
[Chorus]
You make me grin like I’ve won free chips,
I miss my train just to walk you a bit.
You steal my fries, I pretend I’m upset,
Then slide you the last one—don’t tell my mates.
Oh, you and me, what a pair, what a state,
Two big romantics who both run late.
If love’s a quiz, we’re guessing the lot,
But I like you loads—and the chips were hot.
[Outro]
You said, “Be ready,” I said, “Absolutely.”
Next time I’ll find both shoes before you text me.
