Lyrics
2. DINNER RUSH/E.L.L.
(words and music by Sam Russell)
Sam & James:
every guy in the place tonight
and at least four girls
pick her out from sights in room
as center of caramel swirl
her smile begins the greeting
and the tone precise starts releasing
cues to think in defense automatically
“everyone loves Libby but me”
in the effort to be unique
and not just a body that breathes
they’ll claim they’re not entranced
by the grace into which she taps
and those working by her side each night
will have even more to deny
and think to themselves dismissively
“everyone loves Libby but me”
Sam, James & Allison:
cause they wouldn’t fall for same reason
that pulls in everyone else
who wouldn’t see what makes her so special
they’d be the only ones that could tell
cause they wouldn’t fall for same reason
that pulls in everyone else
who wouldn’t see what makes her so special
they’d be the only ones that could tell
Sam & James:
when her shift comes to a close
she’ll probably just go home
watch some TV and go to bed
frightened of connection
around Seattle hearts quickly beat
after a single glimpse from the seat
vowing before admitting defeat
“everyone loves Libby but me”
