I Meant to Do That

Lyrics

Intro
I’m good. I meant to do that.
Nobody saw that, right?

Verse 1
You miss the last step, take a bow to the floor,
Pop up like a waiter: “Who ordered the door?”
Pat your own knee like it started the fight,
Then inspect your shoe like it slipped out of spite.
You drop all your keys, they scatter and flee,
Say, “Just testing the acoustics”—one, two, three.
You wave at a stranger who was waving behind,
Turn it into a stretch like, “I’m loosening my spine.”

Chorus
Look left, look right, check the room, check the hall,
Was that a laugh? Was that a cough? Was that nothing at all?
Brush off your shirt, stand tall, act serene,
Like the floor just got lucky—you’re still the queen.
“Yep, meant to do that,” with a nod and a grin,
Then walk real casual, pretending to win.
If nobody saw it, it didn’t occur—
Except everybody saw, and they’re doing it too, sir!

Verse 2
You push on a door with a sign that says “pull,”
Give the handle a glare like it’s acting a fool.
You say, “Draft in here,” blame the whole building,
Then pull it so hard that the door starts yielding.
You trip on flat air, no obstacle near,
Look down at the carpet: “You got something, I fear.”
Your phone slips away, you catch it mid-flight,
Then bow to the crowd—there’s a plant on your right.

Chorus
Look left, look right, check the room, check the hall,
Was that a laugh? Was that a cough? Was that nothing at all?
Brush off your shirt, stand tall, act serene,
Like the floor just got lucky—you’re still the queen.
“Yep, meant to do that,” with a nod and a grin,
Then walk real casual, pretending to win.
If nobody saw it, it didn’t occur—
Except everybody saw, and they’re doing it too, sir!

Bridge
“Did you see that?” “See what?” “Exactly, good.”
Now both of us are acting like we totally would.
One cough, one blink, then we’re back in our stride—
The world’s full of clowns with their dignity wide.

Final Chorus
Look left, look right, check the room, check the hall,
Was that a laugh? Was that a cough? Was that nothing at all?
Brush off your shirt, stand tall, act serene,
Like the floor just got lucky—you’re still the queen.
“Yep, meant to do that,” and you sell it with flair,
Then check every face like a detective in there.
If nobody saw it, it didn’t occur—
Except everybody’s pretending they didn’t, for sure!

Outro
I’m good. I meant to do that.
You saw nothing.
Right?
