[INTRO] [MALE] You’re standing in the wrong place. [FEMALE] Oh, I get that a lot! [MALE] You should be afraid of me. [FEMALE] You should see my basement. [MALE] …WHAT? [VERSE 1] [MALE] I had the whole thing figured out The road was empty, half past two No witnesses, no complications Then I turned around and saw you [MALE] Standing underneath the streetlight With a stain across your dress Looking at the mess behind me Like you weren’t impressed [MALE] I thought you’d scream I thought you’d run I thought I’d have another problem Before the night was done [FEMALE] Instead I said— That’s a terrible place to hide a body. [VERSE 2] [FEMALE] I’d been having quite an evening Lost a heel and broke a nail Had a perfectly good reason For the dirt beneath my nails [FEMALE] Then I saw you by the roadside Looking terribly composed With your sleeves rolled to your elbows And a secret in your clothes [MALE] I could’ve left you standing there I could’ve driven off alone But you kept making observations Like you’d somehow always known And I have to say You’re making quite a mess. [PRE-CHORUS] [MALE] You know too much already And I don’t even know your name [FEMALE] You haven’t asked me, darling You’ve been staring at the stain [MALE] You should probably leave. [FEMALE] You should probably move that car. [CHORUS] [FEMALE] What a lovely nightmare What a beautiful surprise I found a little trouble With a secret in his eyes [MALE] What an unfortunate meeting What a dangerous little game I should’ve walked away Before I ever learned your name [DUET] Two strangers in the darkness With a lot to disappear What a lovely nightmare Finding someone like you here [VERSE 3] [MALE] She talked the entire journey Like we’d known each other years Asked about my favorite movies While I checked the rearview mirrors [MALE] She had opinions on my methods And absolutely no restraint She said my work was almost perfect Then pointed out a stain [FEMALE] He kept pretending not to listen But he took the second turn I told him that the bridge was closed And watched his patience burn [FEMALE] I liked the way he stayed so calm When everything went wrong Especially when he muttered You’ve been talking all night long. [PRE-CHORUS] [MALE] You are a walking liability You don’t know when to quit [FEMALE] And yet you’re still beside me So what does that admit? [MALE] This doesn’t make us partners. [FEMALE] Then why’d you save my number? [CHORUS] [FEMALE] What a lovely nightmare What a beautiful surprise I found a little trouble With a secret in his eyes [MALE] What an unfortunate meeting What a dangerous little game I should’ve walked away Before I ever learned your name [DUET] Two strangers in the darkness With a lot to disappear What a lovely nightmare Finding someone like you here [BRIDGE] [MALE] Most people would’ve run At the sight of what I’d done You stood there asking questions Like the night had just begun [MALE] I don’t know what you see in me Or why I let you stay But when I looked across the seat I didn’t look away [FEMALE] Most people only notice What I leave behind You noticed how I think And never asked me to be kind [FEMALE] You didn’t try to change me Didn’t tell me I was wrong You just handed back my jacket And told me to come along [FINAL CHORUS] [FEMALE] What a lovely nightmare What a beautiful mistake I never thought I’d meet someone Who’d know just what to say [MALE] What an unfortunate feeling What an inconvenient truth I’ve spent my life avoiding Someone exactly like you [DUET] Two strangers in the darkness With nothing left to fear What a lovely nightmare Finding someone like you here [FEMALE] I’ll bring the chaos I’ll bring the fireworks [MALE] I’ll bring the calm. Please don’t bring a bomb. [OUTRO] [FEMALE] So… is this our first date? [MALE] We just met. [FEMALE] You drove me home. [MALE] You knew where I lived. [FEMALE] Details. [MALE] Goodnight. [FEMALE] Goodnight, boyfriend. [MALE] We’re not—
