Matinee Songtext

von Hurts to Purr

It's a perfect day for a matinee
The rain falling
It's a perfect day for a matinee
And I'm calling in sick

So I can lose myself in a dark room
With two old ladies laughing when I do
And the ushers are watching too

It's a perfect day for a matinee
And I think I love you
It's a perfect day for a matinee
And I'm hoping you love me too

Hoping so hard that I need to escape
And calm down my heart to a regular pace
But I miss your hand on my knee
What a wonderful way

It's a perfect day for a matinee
And I leave the theater, it's light out, it's light out
It's a perfect day for a matinee
And I'll call you later, tell you what the movie was about

And you'll laugh and ask why I went alone
And I'll lie and say I thought everybody'd already seen that one
But you would have gone
You would have gone
Oh you would have, you would have gone
