Sometime Around Midnight

And it starts...

Sometime around midnight

Is that’s when you lose yourself

For a minute or two

As you stand...

Under the bar lights

And the band plays some song

About forgetting yourself for a while

And the piano’s, this melancholic soundtrack to her smile

And that white dress she’s wearing

You haven’t seen her for a while

But you know...

That she’s watching

She’s laughing, she’s turning

She’s holding her tonic like a cross

The room’s suddenly spinning

She walks up and asks how you are

So you can smell her perfume

You can see her lying naked in your arms

And so there’s a change...

In your emotions

And all these memories come rushing

Like feral waves to your mind

Of the curl of your bodies,

Like two perfect circles entwined

And you feel hopeless and homeless

And lost in the haze of the wine

Then she leaves...

With someone you don’t know

But she makes sure you saw her

She looks right at you and bolts

As she walks out the door

Your blood boiling

Your stomach in ropes

Oh and when your friends say “What is it?

You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Then you walk...

Under the streetlights

And you’re too drunk to notice

That everyone is staring at you

You just don’t care what you look like

The world is falling around you

You just have to see her

You just have to see her

You just have to see her

You just have to see her

You just have to see her

You know that she’ll break you in two...
