(Verse 1)

I saw you standing by the door, looking around,

I checked my phone, then looked again — this ain't the girl I found.

Your hair was longer in your pics, your smile a little brighter,

You looked like someone who goes to gym, not someone who writes at night, sir.

But then you saw me, and your eyes did the same math I just did,

You smiled politely, walked on over, and politely hid

The shock, the fear, the "oh my god, what have I gotten into?"

I stood up, said "Hey, you look great," and so did you.

(Pre-Chorus)

We both know the truth, we both know the game,

These photos are from 2019 — what a shame.

But you're here, I'm here, the waiter's coming near,

So let's pretend we're not each other's fear.

(Chorus)

Five years ago, we both looked great,

Five years later, we showed up late

To the truth, to the lie, to the awkward date —
