They're not happy together.
They both feel they could've done better.
"Where do you want to eat?" she asks.
"I don't care," says he.
"Wherever you want to eat, I guess."

She picks a place she thinks he'll like.
He hates it.
But he tries to be nice and pretends that it's just great.

They chew their food.
The mood is dull.
Their expressions lifeless.
Then he tries to pick a movie she'll like.
She hides behind the 3-D glasses
And rolls her eyes a lot.

But they're both trying so hard
To make the other's life colorful,
So maybe they couldn't have done
Any better, if they'd tried, after all.
