lyrics

well, she was so exhausted that she must have forgot
to ask this awkward twentysomething dude if he was a cop
he said he didn't bring the money so he had to take off
because without it, either way, she isn't giving a fuck
so after locking up, she sat in bed and she thought
about the timeline of events that follows hearing a knock
looking through the peephole, trying to see what he brought
is it a wallet, or a badge? a pack of condoms, or cuffs?
she looked out at the balcony where they were set to meet
and then back into the mirror for a second, just to see
if the package she was working could be any more complete
if a rose by any other name could ever smell as sweet

the answer's no.

she hears a knock three times on the window
baby, that's how you know
it either isn't or it is and then it's over
baby, that's how it goes
romeo, romeo, you better turn off your phone
[you know?]

the world was tinted violet by the sunrise and smog
as his fingers traced the distance between home and this block
it said it's thirty-seven minutes if he opted to walk
until the red pin once again was covered by the blue dot
his eyes were set on juliet, his laces in knots
he starts to say "babe, that was great, but now i gotta take off"
but there's a distance in her eyes, as if he's already gone
so he just leaves an extra $20 hoping that's what she'd want
then he goes to ring his girlfriend soon as he's in the hall
says "baby, there's no special reason! i just miss you, is all
i'm stepping out to do some errands, and my reception might stall
so i'll just say 'i love you' now, in case the phone drops the call"

and there it goes.

she texts him "baby, i can't wait to see you later! [heart emoji] xo"
it either isn't or it is and then it's over, baby, that's how it goes
romeo, romeo starts walking home
alone.
