Roman History - Pet Lions

Are you a student or a friend or just a random from town

And she’s a pretty pretty girl, but you’re still looking around

You say «I know Jude» and she says she does too

And now you wish you hadn’t come 'cause she’s just dragging you down

Into a state of desperation 'cause she’s wearing a dress

That doesn’t really state a lot, but there’s a lot to suggest

It’s gonna save some time if you finish your drink

You never liked the taste of gin, but now you couldn’t care less

Maybe you need to focus

Maybe you need to care

Maybe you need to stop thinking 'bout

How much you miss the other girl

Maybe you’ll wait till Monday

Maybe she’ll show her face

But if it comes down to circumstance

You’ll just stay lonely

Suppose the summer started, you had nothing to wear

The thought of her and her with someone leaves you feeling impaired

It’s gonna take some time if you can’t make her think

That all the things you never wanted bring you back to a place

Where all the looks she ever gave you kept a lock on your door

Your walls were barely painted green her clothes were still on the floor

It’s gonna take some space just to make it alone

The days are emptier than others when you sleep on your own

Maybe you need to focus

Maybe you need to care

Maybe you need to stop thinking 'bout

How much you miss the other girl

Maybe you’ll wait till Monday

Maybe she’ll show her face

But if it comes down to circumstance

You’ll just stay lonely

Are you a student or a friend or just a random from town

And she’s a pretty pretty girl, but you’re still looking around

You’ll talk all night if you don’t make a move

She’s getting bored of Roman history and she’s looking away

And now she’s dancing to a song that makes you question her taste

She’s got a whisper in her ear, she’s got a grin on her face

She takes two then she hands 'em to you

She’s gonna take you by the hand and take you back to her place

Into her room, to stay

A fake holiday

To celebrate our lack of romance

So don’t assume, her way

Will keep you up late

It seems so detrimental somehow

Maybe you need to focus

Maybe you need to care

Maybe you need to stop thinking 'bout

How much you miss the other girl

Maybe you’ll wait till Monday

Maybe she’ll show her face

But if it comes down to circumstance

You’ll just stay lonely

Are you a student or a friend or just a random from town

And she’s a pretty pretty girl, but you’re still looking around

You say «I know Jude» and she says she does too

And now you wish you hadn’t come 'cause she’s just dragging you down
