It Happened One Night… lyrics

It happened one night, you smokin’ in my window
You, porin’ into my candidness too
Rustlin’ open a paper, written in a foreign lingo
(Me, tryin’ not to pore over you)
Me, tryin’ not to pore over you…

We argued like bartenders couldn’t hear us
At 2 AM, when all the books look used
Chasin’ you through all my big, bad thoughts
(All I wanted to do was impress you)
All I wanted, from truth, was to be best you…

When you enter a room, I can feel it
I can sense it in the heat of my shoulders
Once, I saw you in a striped blue sweater
And I wanted to vibe nautical too
Once, I saw you order hot tea at Starbucks
You made me want to drink hot tea too
(You made me want to drink hot tea too)

I suppose it always happens, when you not lookin’
Not payin’ any heed to your heart’s contents
All you know is one day you want to solve all of his problems
(By spendin’ all your winters with Jim)
By spendin’ all your winters with him
Jauntin’ home from the bars past 7-11
Chowin’ street food on stools at 4 a.m.
Arguin’ “Beethoven or Mozart?” on a bench in the park
(All I ever wanted to do was impress him)
All I ever wanted to do was “be best, Jim”

When he enters a room, I can feel it
I can sense him as a fry in my shoulders
Once, I saw Jim in a striped blue sweater
And I wanted to wear striped blue too
(I wanted to vibe nautical too)
Once, I saw Jim order fries at McDonald’s
And I wanted to eat hot fries too
(I wanted some hot fries too)

Windows in his sihouette vibe blue and holy
He could breathe a skyline into our bedroom at night
Red and white lights, shinin’ like diamonds and rubies
(Only he could make my city feel bright)
Only he could make our city come alive, come alive…

The first time he kissed me
It was our little whisper
Everywhere we went, didn’t tell our friends
“Durkheim or Adorno?”
Was how we always bickered
(All I ever wanted to do was to save Jim)
All I ever wanted to do was to save the world, with him
When he enters a room, I can feel it
I can sense it in the back of my shoulders
Once, I saw Jim in a Vineyard Vines sweater
I wanted to wear Vineyard Vines too
(I wanted to vibe Vineyard Vines too)
Once, I saw Jim order hot tea at a Starbucks
It made me wanna drink hot tea too
(Jim made me want to drink hot tea true)

All I ever wanted to be, was cozy with you
Hold your tears in my palms for two
(Hold your fears in my psalms for two…)
All I ever wanted to do, was party with you
Hold your years in my arms for two
(Hold your ears in my charms for two, yeah…)
