Lyrics
Couldn’t choose
Do what you want and say when to stay
I have an answer ready just in case.
Trying to please trying to think
It should be easy standing on my feet.
on my feet.
You’re not cold which makes you pure gold
You never try to act so very old
Dress like an angel in the still of night
Mind the stairs and hold the candle tight.
Hold tight.
Chorus
But I didn’t catch your name
Does it matter all the same?
Didn’t want to trouble you, you see.
Just because you looked my way,
Thought it would be nice to play
I thought so too but couldn’t choose.
I couldn’t choose.
You have the world at your feet
You have everything you need
No reason to be put aside
Touch the world and travel in style,
in style.
Chorus
But I didn’t catch your name
Does it matter all the same?
Didn’t want to trouble you, you see.
Just because you looked my way,
Thought it would be nice to play
I thought so too but couldn’t choose.
I couldn’t choose.
Watch TV and you’ll never be,
the things you watch and what you want to be
Count to four and open the door
Are you missing what you’re looking for,
You’re looking for.
Chorus
But I didn’t catch your name
Does it matter all the same?
Didn’t want to trouble you, you see.
Just because you looked my way,
thought it would be nice to play
I thought so too but couldn’t choose.
I couldn’t choose. I couldn’t choose. I couldn’t choose
