.Packs Of Three - Arab Strap
You just have to be sure
You're doing the right thing
I mean it's very easy to forget
She's just sitting there in the pub
With her new friends
And her new life and her new hair
And it's been five years but
You'd know just to look at her
I wasn't even sure it
Were her at first
I was ready to walk away
But she smiled
And called me over and
We said hello for a bit
When we back to our tables
We were trying not to
Look over at each other
And told our friends to stop staring
I didn't see her for
The rest of the night
But by closing time
The beer's kicked in
So I go up and speak to her
And we end up talking
About our new homes
Our new jobs and new friends
And our new birds
She says she's been
Going out with him now
For about two and a half years
But they don't live together
So he'd never find out
And you think about chasing
Her about school
When you were wee
And lying in your bed
And listening to love songs
And pretending they were about you
And the first time you asked her out
She said no but one night you
Went to a wedding
And when you came back to the pub
She's changed her mind
And you went out
You remember the way
She swung her arms
When she held your hand
But you can't remember
How she kissed
And now you've got the
Chance to find out
But you have to remember
There's this other kiss
She's at home wondering
Where you are and what you're doing
And you work hard on this kiss
And you know it inside out
It's as much yours as it is hers
And it took a long time to get right
It took months of practice
And months of embarrassment
But now you've got it perfected
And you've been looking
Forward to that kiss all week
You can see her breath in the air
Between your faces as you
Stand in the leaves
And she just asks you straight out
If you want to come and
Stay at her flat
But you make sure you
Get separate taxis
And you go home and there
Might be a slight regret
And you might wonder
What you missed
But you have to remember
The kiss you worked so hard on
And you'll know you've done
The right thing
