Lyrics
MAN 1
It was all going okay
But now you don't know what to say
'Cause you thought that you were being clever
But you came off just as dumb as ever
WOMAN 1
You should just run for the door
You've played out this scene before
And you're stuck in a slew of hems and haws
BOTH
It's so awkward
This awkward pause
MEN, WOMEN AND WAITER
Would gladly eat a plate of glass
If it would make this moment pass
Would rather skydive with no parachute
Man 1
Get caught solicitinga **********
WOMEN, MAN 2 AND WAITER
Better to bump into an ex
MAN 1
Or crash your car into a tree
WOMEN, MAN 2 AND WAITER
See your parents having sex
MAN 1
Or catch a mild STD
MEN, WOMEN & WAITER
Things that normally are paralyzing
Compared to this, they all seem appetizing
'Cause you're stuck in the agonizing claws of the awkward
The awkward pause
It was all going okay
But now you don't know what to say
'Cause you thought that you were being clever
But you came off just as dumb as ever
WOMAN 1
You should just run for the door
You've played out this scene before
And you're stuck in a slew of hems and haws
BOTH
It's so awkward
This awkward pause
MEN, WOMEN AND WAITER
Would gladly eat a plate of glass
If it would make this moment pass
Would rather skydive with no parachute
Man 1
Get caught solicitinga **********
WOMEN, MAN 2 AND WAITER
Better to bump into an ex
MAN 1
Or crash your car into a tree
WOMEN, MAN 2 AND WAITER
See your parents having sex
MAN 1
Or catch a mild STD
MEN, WOMEN & WAITER
Things that normally are paralyzing
Compared to this, they all seem appetizing
'Cause you're stuck in the agonizing claws of the awkward
The awkward pause
