lyrics

She called him a gentleman
And left it there once he had walked her home
Strolled home with the air of a victor
Snow fell down and chilled him down to his bones
How was he to know?
Oh oh oh

Flash forward to two weeks later
She won’t dance, she laughs and checks her phone
He tells her she looks pretty
She says who’s this boy who won’t leave me alone
Oh oh oh

CHORUS
It was new
It was theres
And it caught them unawares
He’d been let
down before
Now he was ready to settle the score
She’d hold his hand if he’d let her
She had always deserved better
And no doubt
before too long
it’d be just another ruined love song

He was from another city
She may just as well have been form space
He was scared and she was nervous
but he couldn’t wipe the smile off of her face
And he liked it that way
Hey hey hey

They drank all of the gin and whiskey
And she said “hey boy, it’s getting late”
They trudged their boot through four feet of snow
And kissed in a doorway at 2:08
It was worth the wait
A a a

CHORUS

Just as quickly as it got started
It was all over when she just turned to run
Snow fell as the story ended
And he went and wrote a perfectly ruined love song
Oh oh oh

She called him a gentleman
