Check Please from Outro by Ben Smith

Check Please
All I need's a stiff drink and
a stiff breeze
We're as thick as thieves

I'll walk the beach
and make fun of all the daddies in their
Polos and pleats
dreaming of the sea

But who am I to talk?
Just another cliché
on the boardwalk
empty of thoughts

But it's not all lost
I lost you, but now like some Christopher Cross
I’m singing about us

Sometime's the song is a better than the memory
When the love is gone, you've still got the melody
Just move along, the two words you need
are "check" and "please"

Check Please
I can see the moonlight shining
through the trees
staring right through me

Out by the reef
I see your face in the waves around me
and I'm in too deep

Check please
I should take my own advice
on nights like these
There are no epiphanies

But the night's not lost
I lost you but now like some Christopher Cross
I’m singing about us
