Scott Helman - Chinese Restaurant 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
