A Little More Blurry

Thought there’d be a few more people,

In the bar tonight.

Only a couple cars in the lot,

You parked yours right next to mine.

 

I was sitting at the counter,

When you walked in,

Looked around,

And sat at the other end.

 

I looked up from my drink,

To take in the company,

Other than the bartender,

And all at once I felt a little more empty.

 

My drink went bad,

In a hurry.

Maybe I’d had too much

Or maybe it was my tears,

That made everything a little more blurry.

 

I could barely see you,

Sitting across the way.

When you ordered something strong,

And pretended to look away.

 

I looked down at my alcohol,

Tried to clear my mind,

But when I looked back up,

You were already looking this time.

 

And my drink went bad,

In a hurry.

Maybe I’d had too much,

Or maybe it was my tears,

That made everything a little more blurry.

 

No, that drink didn’t taste as good as I thought it would.

And I probably drank a little more than I thought I should.

But maybe it was the tears in my eyes that formed in a hurry,

That made everything a little more blurry.

 

Because,

 

My drink went bad,

In a hurry.

 

Yeah,

 

I probably had too much,

But it was definitely the tears,

That made everything a little more blurry.
