Could Well Be In
The Streets Lyrics

‘Cause her last relationship fucked her up
She suffered greatly from her previous romantic relationship, leaving her with trust issues.

Got hurt majorly, finds it tough to trust
Her past caused significant pain and she struggles with being able to trust someone new.

Looked at the ashtray, then looked back up
She briefly glanced at the ashtray on the table and then looked back up to continue the conversation.

Spinnin' it away on the tabletop
She absentmindedly spun the ashtray around on the table while talking.

She looked much fitter than Saturday just
Compared to when he saw her last Saturday, she looked more physically fit.

She worked in JD's with Dan
She was employed at JD's, along with a man named Dan.

Back then I figured she was pretty damn rough
When he first met her, he thought she had a rough appearance and demeanor.

But she was only wearin' her work stuff
He realizes that her work uniform was the reason she didn't look her best when he met her previously.

And in these clothes she looked more than buff
Her current outfit made her look extremely attractive and fit.

She stirred her straw, sat up to adjust
She nervously stirred her straw in her drink and sat up to adjust her position in her seat.

I told her I thought it was important
He expressed to her that he believed it was important to have deep and meaningful conversations.

That you could get lost in conversation
He believed that it was possible to get so caught up in conversation that you lose track of time.

Chattin' shit, sittin' in, oblivion
They were chatting aimlessly and lost in the moment, unaware of the time that was passing.

With that person who's your special one
He believes that this type of conversation and connection can only happen with someone who is special to you.

She said she was the worst pool player under the sun
She claimed to be a terrible pool player, but explained that guys go easy on her and let her win anyway.

But blokes go easy so she always won
Men usually go easy on her in pool, so she always ended up winning despite her poor skills.

I saw this thing on ITV the other week
He saw a segment on ITV recently that caught his attention.

Said, that if she played with her hair, she's probably keen
The segment claimed that if a woman plays with her hair while talking to a man, it is a sign that she is interested in him.

She's playin' with her hair, well regularly
He noticed that she was playing with her hair frequently while talking to him.

So I reckon I could well be in
He believes that her hair-playing is a sign that she is interested in him, so he thinks he has a chance with her.

Her hair looked much better than the other day
He noticed that her hair looked nicer than it did when he saw her previously.

She had her fingers 'round her hair, playin'
She was playing with her hair, as described in the ITV segment he saw earlier.

I Saw on the telly that's a good indication
He referenced the ITV segment again to explain that playing with her hair is a good sign.

Stood up to buy the next drink though, 'Nay.'
She stood up to buy the next round of drinks, indicating that she wasn't using her hair as a clear sign of interest.

Suppose that's just our girl's way
He accepted that her behavior could be interpreted in different ways and it was just her way of doing things.

I'm tryin' to think what else I could say
He was trying to come up with things to talk about to continue the conversation.

Peelin' the label off, spinnin' the ashtray
He absentmindedly peeled the label off his drink and spun the ashtray around on the table.

Yeah actually, yes, she did look pretty neat
He realized that she did look attractive and well-put-together.

Her perfume smelled expensive and sweet
He noticed that her perfume had a pleasant and expensive aroma.

I felt like my hair looked a bit cheap
He felt self-conscious about his hair, which he felt looked unkempt in comparison to her put-together appearance.

Wished I'd had it cut back last week
He regretted not getting his hair cut recently so that it would look better.

She kept givin' me this look, cause she would speak
She gave him a particular look while speaking, which made him wonder if she was interested in him.

Was she only friendly, or was she a keep?
He wondered whether she was being friendly or if she was someone he could pursue a romantic relationship with.

Asked her if she wanted the same again to drink
He asked if she wanted to order the same drink again as a way to continue the conversation.

Started to turn and get up out my seat
He began to stand up from his seat, indicating that their conversation was coming to an end.

She said that her close mates all were
She explained that her close friends were the most important thing to her.

Always the most important thing to her
Her friends were her top priority and she valued them above all else.

I said I thought it was a bit more blurred
He disagreed and thought that the line between friend and lover could be blurred.

She asked what I meant by that as she stirred
She asked him to clarify his statement as she stirred her drink.

I told her about the money and what had occurred
He told her a story about his money going missing and how his friends may have been involved.

With it goin' missing from the living room, so
He explained that the money was taken from the living room.

With my best mates all there standin' by
His closest friends were all present when the money went missing.

Right where I left it, under their eyes
The money was taken from its spot even though his friends were there and could have seen it happen.

So surely one of them might have spied
He wondered if one of his friends had seen what happened to the money and taken it.

What happened to my money at that time
He was still unsure about what had happened to his money.

I felt like they were all smilin' on the side
He felt like his friends were hiding something from him, as if they were all in on a secret.

She was like 'fair play' she couldn't say why
She understood his frustration, but didn't know why his friends would have taken the money.

She didn't know what all my mates were like
She acknowledged that she didn't know his friends well enough to make any assumptions about their behavior.

And I said she just might be right
He agreed with her that she wasn't in a position to judge his friends without knowing them well.

Wish I had someone I could always rely
He expressed a desire to have someone he could always depend on.

Someone to get lost chattin' to all night
He longed for someone he could have deep conversations with and lose track of time talking to all night.

As I walked back with more drinks to our place
He returned to their table with more drinks for them both.

She had her phone stuck to the side of her face
She was on the phone with someone, holding it against the side of her face.

I sat for a minute while she chatted away
He waited patiently while she continued her phone conversation.

'Bout somethin' with her mom and her birthday
She was talking to her mom about something related to her birthday.

Played for a bit with the same ashtray
He fiddled with the same ashtray again while waiting for her to finish her phone call.

Thought about things while I sat and waited

It was nice to chat about the shit in my head

Someone who just listens to you instead

I looked at the barman, wiping down again
He glanced at the bartender, who was wiping down the bar again.

Looked at the football on the TV set
He also looked at the football game playing on the TV.

Tryin' to look like I weren't just waitin' there
He didn't want to appear impatient while waiting for her to finish her phone call.

For her conversation to come to an end
He was waiting for her call to finish so they could continue their conversation.

I look at my watch and realized right then
He checked the time and realized that they had been talking for three hours.

That, for three hours, been in conversation
They had been talking to each other for three hours.

Before she put her phone down, she switched to silent
She put her phone down and switched it to silent mode, ending her conversation.

And we carried on chattin' for more than that again
After her phone call ended, they continued talking for another several hours.

[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
The chorus repeats twice throughout the song, expressing the artist's interest in the woman and his belief that she may be interested in him as well.
