Lyrics
I wish I was your comfort
I'd build you a nest, you'd be my bluebird
I'd shut out the world that don't deserve you
And I'd make you a home
If I was your journal
You could tell me everything you yearned for
I'd be the fragile pages that you turn to
When you feel alone
Oh, I only saw you once
In a Chinese restaurant
You had your hoodie up
Beer in a Styrofoam cup
I didn't have the guts to talk you up
Oh, I only saw you once
In a Chinese restaurant
I could be your boyfriend
Your confidant, your lover and your best friend
The hole in the fence at the dead end
Somebody you could get into debt with
Come here
Oh, I only saw you once
In a Chinese restaurant
You had your hoodie up
Beer in a Styrofoam cup
I didn't have the guts to talk you up
Oh, I only saw you once
In a Chinese restaurant
I swear that we locked eyes
Under the fluorescent lights
I didn't have the guts to talk you up
I only saw you and somehow I know I'm right for you
I only saw you once so tell me why I'd die for you
And all these other girls I see them 'round but they won't do
Tell me where are you now, where are you now, oh, oh
Oh, I only saw you once
In a Chinese restaurant
You had your hoodie up
Beer in a Styrofoam cup
I didn't have the guts to talk you up
Oh, I only saw you once
In a Chinese restaurant
I swear that we locked eyes
Under the fluorescent lights
I didn't have the guts to talk you up
Wish I was your comfort
I'd build you a nest, you'd be my bluebird
I'd shut out the world that don't deserve you
And I'd make you a home
