After a Few
Travis Denning Lyrics

I probably shouldn't have said, "Hello"
I regret initiating contact with you when I saw you out with your friends.

When I saw you out with your friends
When I first saw you, my initial thought was to avoid contact with you.

I know I should've left it alone
I acknowledge that I made a mistake by approaching you.

When I caught you lookin'
When we made eye contact, I noticed there might be a mutual interest.

A little smile, little, "How you been?"
We exchanged a friendly greeting and caught up a bit.

Little touch, little reminisce
We shared a physical gesture and talked about past experiences.

It always starts off innocent
These interactions between us usually begin in a harmless way.

But we both know how it ends
Even though we try to keep it casual, we both know that it will lead to physical intimacy.

We always take it way too far
We consistently engage in behavior that goes beyond what we intended.

Where it's too much to resist
Our attraction to each other is too strong to control.

We always make it way too hard
It's difficult for us to detach and walk away from each other.

To walk away after that third kiss
It becomes increasingly challenging to end things between us after we've shared physical intimacy.

We pretend that we'll be fine
We convince ourselves that we'll be okay and not caught up in our emotions afterward.

Feel the sting in the morning light
We eventually face the consequences of our actions and suffer the emotional pain that comes with it.

After a few drinks, it's always the same thing
We consistently allow alcohol to fuel our attraction and desire for each other.

We find ourselves lost in conversation at the bar
We get caught up in talking to each other and lose track of time and our surroundings.

Then after a few songs, the kind that you hold on
We share a moment on the dance floor that leads to physical touch and closeness.

We find ourselves leaning up against my car
We end up in a private and intimate space where we feel free to give in to our attraction.

Should've stopped at one, said goodbye, given up at two
It would have been better for us to have self-control and not engage in behavior that leads to physical intimacy.

If we didn't wanna wind up falling into my bed like we always do
We could have avoided the inevitable physical intimacy that comes with our interactions if we had more self-control.

Oh, after a few
Regardless of how we intend for things to go, our encounters always lead to physical intimacy - usually after a few drinks or shared experiences.
