Convenience

(It was just for convenience)

I've always been good at changing the subject
I always hoped they'd look away
The Sun streaming through the curtains
I'd always leave when the sex had been good
Because that meant there were feelings
And I've never been good at that

Bottles of some drink scattered on the floor
I was never good at getting drunk
I always thought before I spoke
And all of this is bullshit

And now I walk through New York
With a man by my side
And, damn, I'm feeling it
And all those who've been in my bed
Were just for convenience
Convenience, oh, just for convenience

I always followed a rule
If eye contact lasted more than thirteen seconds
I'd run away because there was a connection
And I was never good with 2 AM calls
And all of this is new (so new)

A few lines of coke on the kitchen island
I was never good at getting high
I always analyzed the situations
To make sure I wouldn't be screwed later

And now I'm walking through New York
With a man by my side
And, damn, I'm feeling it
And all those who've passed through my bed
Were just for convenience
Convenience, oh, just for convenience

And now I have plans to stay
And the boy who fell in love with Peter
Has become the man who goes to Central Park
To count fireflies
With a shiny ring on my finger
And damn, this isn't for convenience
It isn't for convenience (and it never will be)

And now I walk around New York
With a man by my side
And, damn, I'm feeling it
And all those who've passed through my bed
Were just for convenience
Convenience, oh, just for convenience

(It never will be for convenience)
