I would have driven away in my car
You said “Rest here, unwind”
No promises or sweet conclusions
We seemed a good idea at the time
I took off my coat of solitude
Words fell short of “Please be mine”
Empty street, lonely night
We seemed a good idea at the time
Our hearts were standing in shallow waters
Wanting to go deeper still
Unchain them for the night
Let them sail where they will
True love's an ocean I could never swim
Our bodies were desperate to rhyme
It became right to drift across the line
We seemed a good idea at the time
We may never speak of this
That doesn't make it a crime
Night brought on a lonely chill
We seemed a good idea at the time
Our hearts were standing in shallow waters
Wanting to go deeper still
Unchain them for the night
Let them sail where they will
