lyrics
by the fire we’re making up stories
about the couple slow dancing in their forties
we’re sipping wine unwinding time like tycoons
you and I are aromas from a kitchen
a slow-cooked meal we don't get to eat
now we gotta sift the seasoning from the stew
but Sneaky, Sneaky
I love you
Sneaky, Sneaky
I love you
summer drive, odometer rising
rolling through the hills, I’m improvising
seventeen twists to make the turns take more time
at a party you're keeping so quiet
alone in a loveseat I’ll swing by
I’d whisk us both away like a genie if I knew the lines
Sneaky, Sneaky
please be mine
Sneaky, Sneaky
please be mine
Sneaky, Sneaky
please be mine
Sneaky, Sneaky
please be mine
If I misapprehend that I’ll love you forever
the Dalai Lama can scold us together
‘cuz our sweaters are brushing arms right now
it’s been a while I’m starting to miss you
yeah a day so I’m making it an issue
let’s walk to Fric & Frac for a beer
Sneaky, Sneaky
you’re so near
Sneaky, Sneaky
you’re so near
Sneaky, Sneaky
you’re so near
Sneaky, Sneaky
you’re so near
