Somewhere Scenic — An IMVU Story

[Verse 1] You leaned a little closer After hours in that room And asked me very carefully If we could go somewhere new You said, “Somewhere scenic” I said, “What do you mean?” A garden? A forest? I don't think I have anything green [Pre-Chorus] I was waiting for the other question The one I've heard before But you weren't trying to get me Behind some private door [Chorus] You just wanted somewhere scenic Somewhere beautiful with me No kissing room, no secret No place nobody could see You just wanted somewhere scenic And I didn't know what to say I'd gotten used to men wanting everything You wanted a view and another hour to stay [Verse 2] Maybe I had learned this world A little differently than you Where hello can turn to touching Before you know somebody's truth But you had stayed there talking While the night became your dawn And when you finally asked for something It was somewhere we could look upon [Chorus] You just wanted somewhere scenic Somewhere beautiful with me No kissing room, no secret No place nobody could see You just wanted somewhere scenic And somehow that surprised me I'd gotten used to men wanting everything You wanted somewhere pretty [Bridge] Maybe a river Maybe the sea Maybe some mountains Maybe just trees You had the Nile You had the desert You had the pyramids Outside your door And somehow in a ballroom Half a world away You asked a woman in a blue dress To find you someplace beautiful to stay [Final Chorus] You just wanted somewhere scenic And now I think I understand You weren't asking me for everything You were asking for my hand You just wanted somewhere scenic One more place, one more dance In a world that moves too quickly You were asking me for romance [Outro] I couldn't find a nature room I wish I'd understood Somewhere scenic Was already something good
