School year winding down with a weekend trip to see your friend's band play in town
But you look so bored, did you really drive three hours just to stand around?
No, I don't dance so well, but I'm really pretty good at sitting down and talking
Let's see if I've got this straight - you like primates and garage sales?
I've been so alone for so d*** long until you came along
Well, here's something I believe in - fate put you here in Cincinnati tonight
Ten minutes ago I was leaving - it's a d*** good thing I saw your face in the lights
And I didn't want to go out this evening - but you never know what choices might change your life
So accept this formal greeting - and let's stay up late in Cincinnati tonight
So it's safe to say we've never seen one such as you show up on the scene
Funny and intelligent, sarcastic, irreverent opinions on everything
No, I don't dance too well, but I really like sitting here with you just talking
How could I not fall in love with you when you tell me that you like Twin Peaks?
I've been so alone for so d*** long until you came along
Well, here's something I believe in - fate put you here in Cincinnati tonight
And we'll mark this chance meeting - as the turning point in the rest of our lives
Sometimes my faith's misleading - but not this time, this time it's got to be right
So accept this formal greeting - and let's stay up late in Cincinnati tonight
