Lyrics:

[Verse 1]:
I wish I was your comfort
I'd build you a nest, you'd be my bluebird
I'd shut out the world that don't deserve you
And I'd make you a home

[Verse 2]:
If I was your journal
You could tell me everything you yearn for
I'd be the fragile pages that you turn to
When you feel alone

[Chorus]:
Oh, I only saw you once
In a Chinese restaurant
You had your hoodie up
Beer in a Styrofoam cup
I didn't have the guts to talk you up
Oh, I only saw you once
In a Chinese restaurant

[Verse 3]:
I could be your boyfriend
Your confidant, your lover and your best friend
The hole in the fence at the dead end
Somebody you could get into debt with
Come here

[Chorus]:
Oh, I only saw you once
In a Chinese restaurant
You had your hoodie up
Beer in a Styrofoam cup
I didn't have the guts to talk you up
Oh, I only saw you once
In a Chinese restaurant
I swear that we locked eyes
Under the fluorescent lights
I didn't have the guts to talk you up

[Bridge]:
I only saw you once, somehow I know I'm right for you
I only saw you once so tell me why I'd die for you
And all these other girls I see them 'round but they won't do
Tell me where are you now, where are you now, oh, oh

[Chorus]:
Oh, I only saw you once
In a Chinese restaurant
You had your hoodie up
Beer in a Styrofoam cup
I didn't have the guts to talk you up
Oh, I only saw you once
In a Chinese restaurant
I swear that we locked eyes
Under the fluorescent lights
I didn't have the guts to talk you up

[Outro]:
Wish I was your comfort
I'd build you a nest, you'd be my bluebird
I'd shut out the world that don't deserve you
And I'd make you a home
