Sometime Around Midnight

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 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 and turning And holding her tonic like a cross The room suddenly spinning as 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 See 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 All 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 You don't stop caring 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
