neil bartram - i like it here lyrics

(thomas goes to the shelves in search of a specific story. he finds it and reads.)

[thomas]
“weaver + table for two”. a story about thomas

(thomas steps into the past and sits at the table. he addresses ann, his unseen dinner companion. alvin steps back and watches.)

[thomas]
i like it here
the waitresses tend to be rude
but the food is so good

the last time i ate here, my publisher paid
he should, what with all that my stories have made
i had the lamb with thе mint marinade
i like it herе

it’s comfortable
the two of us, sitting and chatting and sharing some wine
and some hummus

the prices they charge here are really a crime
we even pay extra for water with lime
still, i come back again time after time
i like it here
you’re probably wondering why we are here
when there’s so much to plan + like that thing with your father
but i needed you to myself for an hour tonight
see
everything’s moving so quickly
there’s all these decisions to make
and i still have my deadline
my head is spinning
and something just doesn’t feel right

i guess what i’m trying to say, now that we have a minute
is, lately you’re asking for more than i’m able to give
i think you deserve more than someone who’s heart isn’t in it
instead of us picking out dishes and bedding
i wonder if we shouldn’t
postpone the wedding

(pause)

ann?

what do you think, ann?

are you okay?
you haven’t had more than a bite of your tuna tartare(?)
or the hummus
look
all that i’m asking is, can’t we just wait
and put on the brakes, if it isn’t too late
give me some time, ann
and that would be great
for everyone

just when two people get into a groove
there’s always this pressure that things have to move
why do relationship have to
improve?
