He turned that phrase as if
He was driving into Dead Man's curve
She crossed her legs as if
She was working up the nerve
They both looked sideways as if
They both had aces in reserve
Calls placed from the car
Excuses made while driving to the bar
Putting on make up and an act
Just like an over-the-hill movie star
It was a few days before he called of course
It was a caution born of experience
They both spoke in clichés and were too hip of course
They both knew better than to get too serious
Their friends were amazed when they went public of course
Their friends thought they were both delirious
Buying cards from the Hallmark store
Rarely one seen without the other anymore
Not one person who knew them could believe it
Two not searching found what everybody was looking for
