Can I Borrow That Shoulder Twice?

[Verse 1] She promised me a shoulder Said it came at no extra charge A stranger with a warning label And a rather questionable heart She's not the type for staying At least that's what she said But she spent the night beside me Singing heartbreak songs instead [Pre-Chorus] She said she'd help me cheat right back I said, "You don't do serious" A woman who can't promise next week Giving love advice? How curious [Chorus] Can I borrow that shoulder twice? Just for an hour, not a life You don't have to promise forever I won't ask you to be mine For someone who's no good at staying You stayed when I fell apart And I know it's a terrible idea But it's quieter beside your heart Can I borrow that shoulder twice? Just one more time tonight [Verse 2] There's a stranger on my sofa Even when nobody's there She smiled like she belonged there Like I was the intruder instead My girlfriend asked why I came home What a charming thing to say Now even my own living room Feels like somewhere I can't stay [Pre-Chorus] And what about your girlfriend? The one who won't pick up? You say you're bad at staying But did you ever fall in love? Well, that's none of my business I've got my own mess to survive Still, I wonder why a restless girl Could make me feel all right [Chorus] Can I borrow that shoulder twice? Just for an hour, not a life You don't have to promise forever I won't ask you to be mine For someone who's no good at staying You stayed when I fell apart And I know it's a terrible idea But it's quieter beside your heart Can I borrow that shoulder twice? Just one more time tonight [Bridge] I don't need another girlfriend I don't need another lie I don't need some grand confession Underneath the city lights Just that ridiculous low voice And your terrible singing again Maybe five more minutes Maybe ten You said you couldn't promise next week I said I understood So why does knowing better Never do me any good? [Final Chorus] Can I borrow that shoulder twice? Not forever, just tonight There's a stranger on my sofa And I can't bear to turn on the light I know you're no good at staying I know you're probably no good for me But you never promised to save me And somehow I could breathe Can I borrow that shoulder twice? Just one more time tonight No promises No second thoughts Well... Maybe one Calling Rotlinde... Come on, you ridiculous carnivore Pick up.
