I remember, a wise man once told me
His name was Ted Mosby
And he said
Oh, he said
"Nothing good ever happens
After 2AM" or something
Maybe I should've listened
To episode 18 of How I Met Your Mother
Or maybe my own mother
Cause you're staring at your phone
And maybe I should
I should go home
But hold up, wait a minute
Can't you see my future's got you in it?
And it's me and you
Dancing 'round the topic
How many years are we going to dance around this?
Hold up, for a second
Heaven knows I should've learned my lesson
You and me, avoiding conversation
Like we're in a sitcomplication
(Like we're on a sitcom)
Oh noooo
(Like we're on a sitcom)
(Like we're on a sitcom)
But I can't turn the TV off
I remember that a wise one once told me
I think her name was Phoebe
And she said
Oh, she said
"Damn it woman, pull yourself back together" or something
Maybe I should've listened
To I-don't-know-which-episode of that TV classic Friends
Or maybe my own actual friends
Cause you won't pick up the phone
And maybe I should
I should go home
But hold up, wait a minute
Can't you see my future's got you in it?
And it's me and you
Dancing 'round the topic
How many years are we going to dance around this?
Hold up, for a second
Heaven knows I should've learned my lesson
You and me, avoiding conversation
Like we're in a sitcomplication
(Like we're on a sitcom)
(Like we're on a sitcom)
Oh no
(Like we're on a sitcom)
But I can't turn the TV off
Life ain't no Parks and Recreation
Get me out of this Superstore
Never Have I Ever Contemplated this much more
So pretend you're stuck at The Office
While we act so Abbott Elementary
Meet me in Brooklyn Nine-Nine and
We'll be fine
Every episode, every season
Every channel of you and you and you
Always felt so overdue
So go put on your dancing shoes
I'll put these sitcoms on mute
Because imagine, for a minute
The Suite Life if my future's got you in it
On a rendezvous, somewhere in the tropics
So many years after dancing 'round the topic
Hold up, for a second
Heaven knows I should've learned my lesson
You and me, having conversation
What a treat for the population
(Like we're on a sitcom)
And I don't wanna cause a scene
(Like we're on a sitcom)
I just wanna feel seen
(Like we're on a sitcom)
Still I can't turn the TV off
You plus I could be a simple calculation
But you're a sitcomplication
