Chinese Restaurant Lyrics - Scott Helman

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 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
