And it starts
Sometime around midnight
Or at least 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 melancholy soundcheck
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 crux
The room 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 of 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

And 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

And when your friends say what is it
You look like you've seen a ghost


And you walk
Under the streetlights
And you're too drunk to notice

That everyone is staring at you
And you so 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

And you know that she'll break you

In two
