Thesaurus Rex - The Way You Look at Me

★ verse 1 ★
I think i was invited by my roommate's hipster sister
Somebody's birthday that i didn't care about
You caught me slipping up, zipping up my zipper
I caught you missing a button on your blouse

We both got flustered
We both adjusted
We both entrusted the other with our self-esteem
We turned and parted
Both broken-hearted
You thought i was charming and i liked the way you looked at me

★ verse 2 ★
I clocked you for an hour just to prove i wasn't crazy
I was pretty confident that you were there alone
Our host was toasting hopelessly and posting to her pages
She tagged us in a picture and you showed up on my phone

Tried to resist it
My heart insisted
I investigated on your insta almost instantly
Oh, you're an artist
I'm so predictable
I'm just a sucker for aesthetic sensibility
I liked the way you looked at me
I liked the way you looked at me

★ bridge ★
I'm glad i caught your eye
'cause you must have been impressed
To see me zipping up my fly
While i was staring at your chest
Oh at least someday i'll die
So i can bury my regret

★ verse 3 ★
I've given up on romance and i've had my fill of small talk
I've said my lines, i think it's time i take my cue
Make an irish exit but i found you on the sidewalk
I called a truce, i introduced myself to you

Quickly regret it
I feel pathetic
I'm overthinking, i can feel i'm sinking in the blue
Why does it vex me
If i think you're sexy?
Then much to my surprise, you said you liked the way i looked at
You hoo hoo hoo hoo

★ verse 4 ★
Now, i'll admit it, i don't read romantic fiction
I'm not a swooner or a crooner or a flirt
We say we're after gallantry when all we want is friction
Unzipping zippers, ripping buttons off our shirts
(baby!)
We traded glances
We made advances
Aren't we all looking for someone to keep us company?
So we can wake up
All frizz and makeup
Look 'em in the eye and say "i like the way you look at me"
I liked the way you looked at me
I like the way you look at me
Yeah yeah yeah
