Closing Time by Hootie and the Blowfish

Oh the popular music! This song was written when there were only two men in the "band." It's set in a bar where a woman is sitting alone. The man is also sitting alone and drowning his sorrows. He notices the woman at the bar and wants to meet her, but he doesn't have the guts. The bar is about to close and there's a last call for drinks. He orders another one and checks for the woman, but she's nowhere to be found. He then falls in love with her. It's a very confusing song. I think it's funny that he keeps on saying that he hopes he won't fall in love with her and yet, it's when she leaves that he does fall in love with her. Very strange.
