And it starts, sometime around midnight.
Or at least that’s when you lose yourself
for a minuto 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, 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
Or at least that’s when you lose yourself
for a minuto 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

We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another dia to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a dia or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But that's me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me
It's no better to be seguro than sorry
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a dia or two
Oh the things that you say
Is it life or
Just a play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to
remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a dia or two
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another dia to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a dia or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But that's me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me
It's no better to be seguro than sorry
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a dia or two
Oh the things that you say
Is it life or
Just a play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to
remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a dia or two
I found myself in a sea of busy places
In a world of blurry faces
I found myself on the edge of insanity
I found
I found me
My coração was beating
Barely breathing but still alive
lost along the way I'd given up my fight
Scattered to pieces all along the floor
Within the brokenness
I found something more
I found myself in a sea of busy places
In a world of blurry faces
I found myself on the edge of insanity
I found
I found me
I was broken, torn apart
Scars line my arms
On my sleeve I wore my heart
They remind me of what is real
No longer needing pain to feel
I found myself in a sea of busy places
In a world of blurry faces
I found myself on the edge of insanity
I found
I found me
I found myself in a sea of busy places
In a world of blurry faces
I found myself on the edge of insanity
I found, I found me
I found myself in a sea of busy places
In a world of blurry faces
I found myself on the edge of insanity
I found, I found me
In a world of blurry faces
I found myself on the edge of insanity
I found
I found me
My coração was beating
Barely breathing but still alive
lost along the way I'd given up my fight
Scattered to pieces all along the floor
Within the brokenness
I found something more
I found myself in a sea of busy places
In a world of blurry faces
I found myself on the edge of insanity

I found myself on the edge of insanity
I found
I found me
I found myself in a sea of busy places
In a world of blurry faces
I found myself on the edge of insanity
I found, I found me
I found myself in a sea of busy places
In a world of blurry faces
I found myself on the edge of insanity
I found, I found me
It's a little funny
This feeling inside.
I'm not one of those
Who can easily hide.
I don't have much money
But boy if I did.
I'd buy a big house where
We both could live.
So excuse me forgetting
But these things I do
See I've forgotten if
There green or there blue.
Anyway the thing is
What I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody
This is a song
That may be quite simple
But now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
Now you're in the world.
If I was a sculptor
But then again, no,
Or a girl who makes potions
In a travelling show
I know it's not much, but
It's the best I can do
My gift is my song, and
This ones for you
And you can tell everybody
This is a song
It may be quite simple
But now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
Now you're in the world.
