I'm standing there at the box office
Wanting to punch the clock with my fist
And what do I see in front of me?
A vision of you, 'cause I'm lonely
Ah, the years have not done much to you
And I'm wondering what in the world to do
You smile and say "Hello, how are ya?"
I say "I'm fine, I'm just working at the cinema"
"Well stop your working and come with me
Come live on the other side of the country"
"Uh, that's kinda far and I like it here"
"Well, if you don't come I will disappear"
Oh, now I'm starting to have a panic attack
My coworker gently touches my back
They say "Hey man, is something wrong with ya?"
I say "Nothing, I'm fine, I'm just working at a cinema"
One long night in the E.R.
A couple more in my car
And what side of town are you even on?
Ah forget it, I'll figure it out when it's dawn
Oh, dawn comes, but it's not the one I want
I'm home, it was a dream, let's just keep it blunt
Couple hours later I'm there at the cinema
Can't tell you how many times I heard how are ya
