Antiseptic Greeting

Samantha Crain


You see me out on a Sunday
Confused by choices at the grocery and I am
Quite drawn back into my own mind
Counting the squares of linoleum
I'm having a nice time

But I seem to have caught someone’s eye
A girl I met once at a party or something

I look like the Sun is in my eyes
You had me at goodbye

Oh I know it’s an antiseptic greeting man
You think I could do better
But I don’t think I can

You see me out on a Monday
Doing a crossword at the cafe and all of
The sudden I'm overcome with worry
About whether or not I am pregnant
Or just stressed out

But I seem to have caught someone’s eye
A guy that I went on one boring date with

I look like the Sun is in my eyes
You had me at goodbye

Oh I know it’s an antiseptic greeting man
You think I could do better
But I don’t think I can

What happens now is word is spreading I am cruel
When really I am just an oblivious fool
I think I’ll probably always let you down

I look like the Sun is in my eyes
You had me at goodbye
You want me to be so upbeat
But I'm running on 3 hours sleep
You think I'm being so mean and snide
But maybe it is that my dog just died
I look like the Sun is in my eyes
You had me at goodbye

I know it’s an antiseptic greeting man
You think I could do better but I don’t think I can
