"Don't Look So Surprised" lyrics

"Don't Look So Surprised"

I took a train from San Diego to Los Angeles
I saw a girl sat all alone and started panicking
I told her she looked like someone I used to date before
She said "is that a pickup line?" and shifted her eyes toward the door
I said "no that's not what I meant, I just miss her is all"
She said "that's still a weird thing to say to a stranger, no?"

I said "yeah"
She smiled and said "yeah"
I smiled and said "yeah"

Then she asked me to sit down which took me by surprise
She started asking 'bout the girl and how they look alike
I said "your hair, your clothes, your lips and nose, and god, those pretty eyes"
She said "oh, so you think I have pretty eyes?"

I said "yeah"
I smiled and said "yeah"
She smiled and said

"I'm never gonna be the love of your life
If that's what you think you'd better think twice"
So I said "how 'bout maybe just one night"
She said "fine"

But don't mind me if I'm having a good time
I'm not afraid of a goodbye
And you don't have to agree but when I get up and leave
Don't look so surprised

We watched a movie in her hostel while she smoked a cigarette
I made a comment about the smell, she said "get over it"
And for a second I considered getting up and going home
But instead I had a smoke

And said "I'm never gonna be the love of your life
If that's what you think you'd better think twice"
And she said "how 'bout maybe just tonight"
I said "fine"

But don't mind me if I'm having a good time
I'm not afraid of a goodbye
And you don't have to agree but when I get up and leave
Don't look so surprisedDon't look so surprised

I said "yeah"
She smiled and said "yeah"
I smiled and said "yeah"
She smiled and said "yeah"

I said "I'm never gonna be the love of your life
If that's what you think you'd better think twice"
And she said "how 'bout maybe just tonight"
I said "fine"

But don't mind me if I'm having a good time
I'm not afraid of a goodbye
And when I put down the keys when you thought I would leave
Don't look so surprised
When you're having a good time
Doesn't have to be goodbye
And you don't have to agree but when you get up and leave
And find you're missing a piece you thought that you didn't need
Don't look so surprised
