We work late and I pretend that I don't notice when you're next to me But I do I might be mistaken, but I sometimes get the feeling that you notice too And I know this place that's near here Quiet, dark and small When we're finished here I think that I may want a beer, how about you? It'd be nice to go out drinking with you You would think that we've danced around each other long enough to know Where to stand And my heart stops in a panic when I think how it would feel to finally hold your hand So we wait for this to happen Or make it happen now Either way I think that we should start off with a drink, maybe two It'd be nice to go out drinking with you No big deal, we can play it nice and cool and keep the pressure off Invite our friends And we'll have a few too many, we'll discreetly share a cab home when the evening ends When we reach that awkward moment Standing at your door We won't even know cause we'll just smile and let it go and sail on through It'd be nice to go out drinking with you
