I crashed your party
You didn’t invite me
But then all the same
You never asked me to stay away
Walked in, you saw me
You chose to ignore me
I know I spied
Your eyes grow the tiniest bit wider
Your friends don’t like me
But they treat me politely
While they’re thinking:
“What’s he doing here?”
Oh Mrs Edison and me
What now?
I see you sometimes
Standing in shop lines
And your girlfriend & her daughter
Probably think that I’m a stalker
I blame the timing
Our lives mis-aligning
Or your star sign rising
Or the colour of the tiling
My friends don’t hold back
They know this will end bad
So they ask me:
“What’re you doing here?”
Oh Mrs Edison and me
What now?
If you’re destined to be disappointed
Why not kick back and enjoy it?
Nothing is certainty
Until it came to be
Oh Mrs Edison and me
