To say she was faded
Is an understatement
Eyes ablaze look through the haze
Her gaze was unmistakable
She poured me a drink
She knew I don't like to think
And said another round
Won't hurt you now
The whispers abound
From people all around, saying
"Let me find out how this story ends..."
Streaks of light are dancing in the corner of my eye
They tango down the sidewalk and disappear into the sky
I let each street sign fade into the night
It's all the same to me
I let my eyes fill up with dancing light
It's all the same to me
It's not until later
When we forgot we're strangers
Dragging feet stumbled into the street
To meet the unforeseeable
In a fragile state of mind
Like we're running out of time
As we wound through the alleyways
And back streets that night
When she took my hand
And leaned in to whisper to me
"Don't read too much into anything"
Streaks of light are dancing in the corner of my eye
They tango down the sidewalk and disappear into the sky
I let each street sign fade into the night
It's all the same to me
I let my eyes fill up with dancing light
It's all the same to me
To say she was faded
Is an understatement
Eyes ablaze look through the haze
Her gaze was unmistakable
She poured me a drink
She knew I don't like to think
And said another round
Won't hurt you now
The whispers abound
From people all around, saying
"Let me forget what you said last night"
