It was love between perfect strangers.
// (Romcom scene! Romcom scene!)
I remember that date pretty well.
Cause we met at my best friend’s wedding.
Romcom scene from Hollywood.
That date, we were kissing in the storm in the churchyard.
// (Romcom scene! Romcom scene!)
After leaving my friend in the lurch.
We were kissing and drenched and freezing,
Romcom scene from Hollywood.
Then we had a big fight over nothing.
// (Romcom scene! Romcom scene!)
All due to a silly mistake.
You were leaving the very next morning.
Romcom scene from Hollywood.
So I found out which flight you were booked on.
// (Romcom scene! Romcom scene!)
Stalking’s considered cute nowadays.
Then I made a mad dash through the airport.
Rom-com scene from Hollywood.
By then, they were boarding in groups there at Southwest.
// (Romcom scene! Romcom scene!)
Families were getting on with their children,
But you’d checked in early with Southwest.
Romcom scene from Hollywood.
So I boarded your plane with no ticket.
// (Romcom scene! Romcom scene!)
My god, what a kindly gate agent.
I faced comic delays in the aisle.
Romcom scene from Hollywood.
While we made 93 wait on the tarmac,
// (Romcom scene! Romcom scene!)
I made such a charming proposal,
That plane had 93 happy folks cheering.
Romcom scene from Hollywood.
From the flight deck, up spoke the captain
// (Romcom scene! Romcom scene!)
“Now, ladies and gentlemen,
Come on now, witness this union.”
Romcom scene from Hollywood.
We had coffee and cake in the airport.
// (Romcom scene! Romcom scene!)
I remember that date pretty well!
Cause we knew we’d be happy forever.
Romcom scene from Hollywood.
