We were strolling down the street
when a stray dog walked up to me
Except it wasn't a dog it had fangs and claws
you looked at me and said let's get the hell outta Dodge
So we ran for miles until it wasn’t behind us
We high fived in the street and got something to eat
And the waitress was pretty so we tipped generously
And I left my phone number on the receipt
She called me later that night, I said I’ll be over at 9
She opened the door, and insisted I stayed inside
I said “hey cool I’m down, anyway I’m sick of this town.”
She said “man you’re in luck” and she shut me right up
And that’s how I met my New Jersey diner love
She treated me right, I could never get enough
We yell and we fight, but I can’t get tired of
Seeing your face, my NJ diner love
I called the next week and I said something sweet
I said lets go to a show, I knew she wouldn’t say no
So we snuck in the back and we missed the opening acts
You didn’t care but I heard they weren’t that bad
You said, “let’s open a pit,” I said “you aren’t that big”
You said “like I give a fuck, man I’m just having fun”
So we opened a pit and you yelled and you kicked
You got punched in the face by a hate-moshing prick
And your bottom lip was bleeding so we stepped outside
I said “damn you took a beating” you said “nah, I’ll be fine”
So we kissed in the street, I got your blood on my teeth
And we stood outside the venue so I could fight the guy who hit you
After a while you decided
To stop replying to all of my texts
You got too busy and money doesn’t come easy
But that doesn’t mean you can treat me that way
But i still played nice, texted you every night
But you already quit and it didn’t feel right
So I didn’t sleep for a month until you said you wanted to talk
I knew it was over but I still went on that walk
You picked a place to sit and told me this was it
And I didn’t know what to say so I just looked away
And that’s how I lost my NJ Diner love
Se treated me right and I would never be enough
We’d yell and we’d fight and she got tired of
Seeing my face, my NJ diner love
