skinny dipping

It'll be a Wednesday

And I'll be going in this coffee shop

Hear the barista call an oat milk latte and your name

And I look up from my phone

And think there's no chance it's you, but it is

You'll say, "Hi", I'll say, "Hi, how are you?"

You'll say, "How's your family? How's your sister?"

I'll say, "Shannon's being Shannon"

After a minute of nonsensical chatter, you'll say

"Well, this was really nice, maybe we should do this on purpose sometime"

And it'll have been long enough that we won't harp on (hmm-mmm)

Arguments in your garage

All the ways we sabotaged it (hmm-mmm)

What it was and what it wasn't

We've been swimming on the edge of a cliff

I'm resistant, but going down with the ship

It'd be so nice, right? Right?

If we could take it all off and just exist

And skinny dip in water under the bridge

You'll suggest a restaurant we used to go to

And I'll say, "Won't that be too nostalgic?"

And you'll say, "Maybe, but let's do it anyway"

We won't sit at our same old table, I promise

And we won't bring up the past, we'll keep it bureaucratic

And we won't say it

But both of us, we'll be thinking about how different we are

From those scared little kids that had those (hmm-mmm)

Arguments in your garage

All the ways we sabotaged it (hmm-mmm)

What it was and what it wasn't

We've been swimming on the edge of a cliff

I'm resistant, but going down with the ship

It'd be so nice, right? Right?

If we could take it all off and just exist

And skinny dip in water under the bridge

Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, ha

Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, ha

Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, ha

Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, ha

We've been swimming on the edge of a cliff

I'm resistant, but going down with the ship

It'd be so nice, right? Right?

If we could take it all off and just exist

And skinny dip in water under the bridge
