Ring up the register
You've got your favorite earrings on just for me? Right?
I bet the rollercoaster's still in town
We could go tonight
If I only talked to you
If you only stopped to say hello
more than twice
Now what's this small talk with the little girl behind the counter?
she lives in the house upstairs, you two are like sisters
I wonder if she knows I care, she sees me order here every other day
Every other way, maybe one more tip it will do the trick,
and your shift will end in my arms
I'm in love with the sandwich shop girl,
she puts routine into my world
And now I'm so stuck on eating out
Just to learn what you're all about
And no, it's not sick or weird, it's just a connection I don't want to disappear
I think maybe one more stop, and I'll get you out of that sandwich shop
Why don't you get what I'm thinking?
You're acting like you've never seen me, well fine,
Screw you too!
I'm gonna order take out and eat it in my room
You say you like my wallet taste
you keep staring at my face
at my eyes, well look a little deeper, pass that kitchen counter
Wrap my fork and hold the knives
i'm always ordering the same damn thing,
my stomach's gonna murder me
but i can't help getting your help on what my meal's missing
what if i wrote you a note, something cliche like "let me take you out"
or if i straight up asked you to be more then the girl at the sandwich shop?
I'm in love with the sandwich shop girl,
she puts routine into my world
And now I'm stuck on eating out
Just to learn what you're all about
And no, it's not sick or weird, it's just a connection I don't want to disappear
I think maybe one more stop, and i'll get you out of that sandwich shop
The cars pull up
the shop lights up
the close sign switches directions and opens to dine
My visa card,
my failed bard like schemes,
my laughable lyrics,
my tyrannical dreams
the cars pull up
her face is kind,
she gives me a look
but it's in my mind!
It's not sick or weird, it's just a connection I don't want to disappear
Ring up the register, I'm leaving tomorrow for Los Angeles
Tell me kitchen siren, is there something you'll miss?
I'll be back next year, you'll be stuck in here
Maybe then I'll grab you up
Pass the baked goods glass and the coffee cups
And I'll be able to whisper in your ear,
I'm in love with the sandwich shop girl,
she puts routine into my world
And now I'm stuck on eating out
Just to learn what you're all about
And no, it's not sick or weird, it's just a connection I don't want to disappear
I think maybe one more stop and I'll get you out of that sandwich shop

Heheh, this is strangely familiar. Nice work, it paints a picture that many of us can probably relate to at some point in our lives.
